This is a case where you can absolutely judge a book by its cover. @nathanburgoine.bsky.social’s Little Village series is as charming and fun as @inkspiraldesign.bsky.social’s covers.
Random thing I love about @inkspiraldesign.bsky.social that just occurred to me whilst shaving: the way he put the little coffee bean in the Es in the Bittersweets sign. Tiny detail. Do you notice at a glance? Nope. But if you’ve read the book, notice it’s mentioned, and go check? Oh! There it is!
The illustrated cover of Village Fool, by 'Nathan Burgoine. A bearded, fit man is walking in the rain, and another is sitting under an awning using his phone and above him is the sign for a coffee shop, "Bittersweets." Inside the Es, there are coffee beans.

Ah but of course I cannot now remember - is it in the cover because you put it in the text, or is it in the text because I put it on the cover… I forget now!

This is still one of my favourite covers, and I have to tell you how little I offered this amazing designer. "Okay, so it’s a fauxmance, here’s what the two guys look like, uh, it’s about a wedding and Christmassy and the title is Faux Ho Ho—get it?"

The thing he did with the title card ALONE.
