The Color Printer

"In 1892, Cincinnati printer John Earhart, published The Color Printer: A Treatise on the Use of Colors in Typographic Printing, in which he detailed his methods for creating hundreds of color mixtures and thousands of color combinations as well as advice for complementary colors, using harmonious colors, and printing."

The Color Printer site is a digital edition of Earhart’s work created by Nicholas Rougeux with enhanced reproductions.

Spine Magazine

Spine Magazine is an online publication devoted to book cover design and book culture. I linked to them back in 2022 when they featured a Vonnegut special, but they're worth checking out at the root url.

Plenty of interviews with designers, authors, and illustrators, and of course, lots of gorgeous book covers, including early drafts and alternates.
