I always like to look at Smashing Magazine for inspirations and came upon this book cover. It's a very intriguing use of the Courier New type, incorporating the old-fashioned way of correcting papers into the theme that publishing may no longer exist (since everything has been going to eBooks or PDFs). The reason why it's so effective is because how the type is cropped, some handwritten to make it feel like the teacher correcting a paper. Though it's somewhat confusing because of all the lines in it, it still gets the point across and highlights the most important points (the title and author). Now to steer off the subject, I don't think publishing will ever go out of style because some (like myself) that likes to not look at the computer screen all day. Let's not underestimate the power of holding a book in your hand.
