Yeah, taking copyrighted art would be a no-no :) The artists take public-domain images or their own artwork and create wonderful cd-covers that suit the books perfectly. Maybe I can describe some of them for you, though I don’t know if I’ll do a very good job :)

The artwork for Beowulf shows the hilt of a sword superimposed over a dark and ancient manuscript, with the title in white in an old-fashioned font.

Tom Sawyer shows a picket fence which has been half-whitewashed, and has the title in red graffiti-style script as if it has been painted onto the fence.

The one for the collection of Edgar Allan Poe’s works is quite spooky. It’s a photo of Poe’s face, but only half of his face shows, as if he is peeking around the left edge of the CD.

Very creative, all of them!
