You can always spot the National Geographic magazine, whether in a waiting room or on a magazine stand. Its golden border serves as a frame surrounding some of the world's most acclaimed images. Since 1888, National Geographic has introduced millions of readers to remarkable stories, unbelievable scenes and discoveries from around the planet.

I had a chance to speak with Bill Marr, no not that Bill Marr, but National Geographic's creative directive responsible for the design and art in the publication and pushing into the digital world with National Geographic's award-winning iPad app. Bill spoke about the iconic cover images and what a photograph must have to make it to the cover of of Nat Geo.

The book titled, National Geographic The Covers: Iconic Photographs, Unforgettable Stories, is awe-inspiring, bringing together hundreds of images that have transformed our understanding of this world - and beyond. This is a must have 'coffee table book' that will combine the most beautiful photographs with the backstories, many previously unrevealed.
