Pretty sure this is a Jason Fulford photograph
The title of the book is "Labyrinths," by the way. :-)
I believe the design is by Rodrigo Corral and Gus Powell.
Thanks, thanks & thanks. Changes made.
I stopped by a book store on my way home tonight and took down the credits for this cover.

P.S. By the way, the old info still appears in the RSS feed.
And yes, there should have been a line break following "Fulford" in my previous comment. :-/
Thanks Ricardo
Can anyone speak to the production value of the cover? I like the photo but I'm wondering if the type is embossed or if there are any metallic treatments. It would be great if, in some way, you could post spines as well. I would love to see them. Thanks. I love this site.
Yes, it is a metallic paper. Looks even nicer in "person" than in this photo.
I stumbled here by chance, but this cover for borges stunned me. how could I know from whom's work of art it's taken the cover's photo? it remembers me something, but I'm not sure - poirier's? Beg your pardon for the peripheric question!
I told to David and want to say both of you too..
"Imagination is more important than knowledge" and both of you have
Nice work...
No word to say .. great design...
This is an almost perfect representation of what's between the covers. It would be perfection if only the geometric figure would have been a hexagon as opposed to be a pentagon, and thus being in line with Borges' universe of libraries in "The Library of Babel". Then again, no one cares....
