As stated in my original post, this is an exhibit, in an art gallery, by one specific artist. I don't know the specific reason as to why he created this installation so I thought it would be interesting if we tried to attribute meaning to it.
If you look through the photostream you will see that one cover has been turned into a t-shirt (the photo of a model wearing a t-shirt with the book cover on it). And yes, these "faux designs" are indeed fake books made to convey a look from (for the most part, at least) the 60's and 70's (hence my suggestion in trying to find covers that fail to convey that specific style/period).
Sorry for any confusion.
