What Is This?

The Book Jacket Bracket is an aesthetic tournament that celebrates cover design and lifts lesser-known releases into the spotlight.

Each Monday for the first 32 weeks, four fresh covers enter the ring. Readers vote for their favorite. The winner advances.

Then the battle really begins: weekly winners royal rumble until an ultimate victor is placed upon the Shelf of Immortality.

It’s part celebration, part discovery engine, and part slow-burning literary bloodsport (but friendly).
