Killed Covers

For authors and publishers, there are a lot of reasons for choosing a book cover - in other words, it doesn't mean the rejected covers are crap!

Two weeks ago, The New York Times hosted an Exhibition named "Killed Covers"(they are all rejected book jacket, however, they are still awesome), here is the link for those people who don't live in NYC.
