This year's Spinescape® reflects the possibility and wonder of space exploration. Created by award winning illustrator Don Clark, the artwork represents humankind’s desire to travel beyond the stars. Its retro style acknowledges the longevity of this pursuit, as well as of the encyclopedia it decorates. World Book’s collaboration with the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program inspired the Spinescape.
