"At once seductive, informative, and ephemeral, a book jacket is designed to evoke--and promote--the contents of a book. During the 1920's, 30's...book jackets emerged as one of America's most vital graphic media, showcasing the talent of America's most exciting illustrators and designers...The evolution of the book jacket during this period coincided with the Art Deco era and the commercialization of modern art as a universal graphic style..." - from Heller & Chwast's "Jackets Required."
