Alex Steinweiss, The Inventor of the Modern Album Cover
Great book here from Taschen which some of you might be interested in. Note the brilliant 'leaf through' facility on the right...to brighten up Monday morning at the office.

Well Chris, we have that book and the companion penis volume here in work. The latter, vaguely disturbing to my eye but a popular read with the ladies during their coffee breaks! That new 'leg' book is definitely on my Christmas list now.
