POSSIBLE Amy Sacker Bindings

Amy's Monogram   

We have identified over 350 books whose covers were created by Amy Sacker. Not 350 different designs, however, because several were reused over and over. [ See this page for one example.] Below, we will present covers which contain elements of Amy's work, produced, in many cases, by publishers for whom she had done other designs. We think they could be by Amy.
