I've just received a finished copy of James Runcie's lovely novel Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death, and having previously read it in proof I'm seeing the jacket proper for the first time. I'm very taken with its design - it's by Greg Heinimann - and thought it deserved a post of its own. As you can see (and click on the picture to enlarge it) it's 1950s in feel, and suits the story's setting, subject matter and gentle romanticism perfectly.
The book will be published early next month, and there's a post on it here.
Edited to add: you can read an extract here.
