From The New York Times Book Review, February 11, 2007:
Over the last 30 years, for blockbuster authors from Dean Koontz and Danielle Steel to Joan Didion and John Cheever, a whole design style has sprung up called "the big book look." Its chief elements are a large author name, a large title and, often, a smallish iconic image. The goal is to make the book "pop" on the shelf, to make it more "punched out and vibrant," in the words of Jonathan Burnham, the publisher of HarperCollins.
