The cover, which was designed by S. Neil Fujita, shows a hatpin with what appeared originally as a red drop of blood at its top end. After Capote first saw the design, he requested that the drop be made a deeper shade of red to represent the passage of time since the incident. A black border was added to the ominous image.

The saying goes “never judge a book by its cover” but here at /s/TheDustJacket that’s exactly what we are going to do.
This sub is about book covers, the dust jacket. The stories and people behind the designs and the iconic covers that have captured our attention and got us to pick up a book and read.
Check the comments! I’ll post the picture of the book cover and include background information in the comment area.
