B&N Web Video Series

From Barnes & Noble STUDIO... Cover Story


Books as seen through the eyes of those who design them.

Have you ever wondered if the stories behind books' covers might be as interesting as the stories between them? If so, welcome to Cover Story.

From children's tales to science fiction and beyond, every cover tells a story.
