Via embowman.com

These colorful dust jackets made their online debut a year ago. Designed by Erin Bowman, Tracey Neithercott, and Sarah Enni, these tell people (politely) to not interrupt people absorbed in books.

Just remember though, the very best thing to give reader-writers is some peace and quiet time.
