To those of you who are a bit confused by the term, typography is basically the art of aranging types to make things look gorgeous. To put that in book cover terms: covers where the focus is on the print of the title or the author's name, rather than an image.
Take a look at these upcoming YA books (this is a bit of a Waiting on Wednesday post, as well!) and you'll see what I mean!

Snow White Must Die by Neil Neuhaus

Typography-focused covers are by no means a new thing, but it is rather unusual to see them in YA novels. My favourites are the covers of Not a Drop to Drink and Snow White Must Die - absolutely stunning! I have no idea when or why these covers came back into fashion, but I fully approve!
All these books have great covers and sound really interesting.

This is a fabulous post. Not a Drop to Drink is my waiting on wednesday post this week. I love the cover :)

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is on my must read list for the year. I have the ARC, and even though I have tons of books to read before it, I keep staring at it, wanting to read it already.
