This cover for Andrew Brown's "Dreaming of Sweden" (apparently really called "Fishing in Utopia," but titled as the former here for whatever reason) is a bit minimalist, yet intriguing. The front cover works really well. I like that the bottom portion of the title is spaced over so the ascender of the 'd' lines up with the descender of the 'g'. The back half of the fish running off the middle of the page is also interesting. The spine is fine, and I like that the fish is used again to separate the title from the author. The back cover, however, could do a better job with its use of space. It just seems unreasonably empty, and there definitely could be something filling up all of that negative space. Perhaps having the head of the fish in the middle so it relates back to the front would fix this.
