Lots of brick walls. Beware of the bandwidth limit though.

suggestions?

cheers

Here is a blog on Book Cover Design:

Book Covers Blog

I did a "Print" design only portfolio search on Coroflot, using the key words annual report:

Coroflot search results -- Print + annual report

Look at covers at Taschen, they always have good cover design:

Some Google Images searches give some results as well--

Google Image Search - contemporary book cover design

Google Image Search - annual report design

Google Image Search - portfolio design annual report

Flickr as well:

Flickr: Search - Annual Report

Flickr: Search - Book Cover

I would also check out FFFFound:
FFFFOUND!

Use Google to search FFFFound for book covers:
book cover site:ffffound.com - Google Search

That would be my starting point.

Have you taken your digital camera on a trip to the local book store?
