Speaking of book covers:

Pentagram has unveiled lovely new covers for seven Vladimir Nabokov titles. Far from the somber, desolate images that gum up many of Nabokov’s books -- something we’ve never understood, given the playfulness of his prose -- Pentagram’s designs introduce a gentle blast of whimsy. Each features an illustration, with a background pattern that riffs off a game, sport or an illusion relevant to the book.
