I'm pretty sure we're all doing the same thing right now. Running a Google images search for "super awesome book spine design" so in an effort not to repeat anything, I scoured around looking for unique spine designs that went beyond just print.

James Jennifer Georgina is a big book: 1,200 pages. Irma Boom’s revolutionary spine design allows the book to lie flat on any page. The entire cover and page edges are silkscreened in a brilliant soft neon-yellow glow; the colour lives big but does not dominate.http://jamesjennifergeorgina.com/design.html

Spine detail from Sara De Bondt’s design for the catalogue of ‘Out of the Ordinary: Spectacular Craft’ (Victoria and Albert Museum, 2007), which demonstrates how a sound knowledge of process can open up possibilities for innovative design. Saradebondt.com
And this doesn't particularly have anything to do with the topic of book spine design per se, but I still thought it was amazingly cool.
