Book Cover of the Day

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
By Stieg Larsson
Knopf $27.95

I love the sparing use of red on this silver, black, white, and gray palette, it's as if the red dots are drops of blood. As with the previous Book Cover of the Day, The Geometry of Pasta, simplicity is the key to this design and the key to why it catches my eye (not just because of its use of my favorite color combination).
