Cardon Webb's covers for this series are inspired by mid-century jazz albums. All the titles are hand lettered except for Going to the Territory which is (and this is only a guess) a modification ofMr DafoewithOreganoItalic caps. The lettering for excellent Invisible Man cover is inspired by the rarely used but wonderfulLinotype Gneisenauette.

These type uses aside, the main reason to celebrate these covers is the lettering, which is pitch perfect. Do not miss the large images of the other books at Webb's site.
