From today's Pipeline: "BATMAN: YEAR ONE DELUXE EDITION is offered again as a "Star of the Month" selection. I only mention it here because I received my copy of the book last week, and am annoyed by Chip Kidd's oh-so-precious cover design that features half a dust jacket on it. Sometimes, it's design for the sake of pretentious design, folks."
As a dust-jacket hater, I actually liked the design, in that the dust jacket's so pointless, I can throw it out without worrying about losing any great cover artwork. It seems to be there only to offer a spot for the UPC code.
