5 Book Covers That Scream Vogue

"Never judge a book by its cover." Or so we're told. But let's face it, we sometimes could not help but be drawn to their beauty. In a store full of paperbacks and hardcovers, these standouts pack a graphic punch and as visual beings we all can’t help but notice, flip open and read. The next thing we know, we’re handing them out to the cashier, shopping bags lying in wait.

Call it a gimmick but they are foolproof at tickling our prying curiosity. This is why today we’ll shine the spotlight on five novels that made us do a double take. In fact these could surely pass for a fashion editorial or a magazine spread, even Anna Wintour would be pleased.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
