More book stuff
More book stuff
Yesterday’s post certainly seemed to catch many peoples’ imagination, and I was sent some links I’d like to quickly share with all you book cover geeks out there. Jesse was up late into the night, looking through the amazing records at the Everyman Library Collecting site, where I found these beauties. Thanks, Jesse!
And then Liz sent me a link to an article on Penguin book covers, over at Uppercase Journal, and that’s where I found this lovely photo. And for more brilliant book cover inspiration, do visit the Penguin blog.
Happy browsing and happy weekend, everyone. You’ll find me in a second hand bookshop, most likely! Otherwise, in more book-related news, Jesse and I will be found after 2:30 at the Book Lounge in Roeland Street, heading up our little craft group. See you there.

I have a couple Everyman books. They were lovely–especially if you consider that these were the affordable lines.

well, I guess it really wasn’t that brilliant! I think the problem was I wasn’t logged in. Anyway, I just love love love yesterday’s covers. Today’s too! I have a few books on book covers – album covers too!
have a great weekend!

These book covers are stunning!
I have just started a new blog where I am posting 100 illustrated gems that I can find, this is why I found your blog by searching for other book covers.
I too am spending some time hunting through places for books and other stuff.
I have not seen your work before and I’m going to have to take some time to look through your site and blog.
Your work is beautiful and I think you may find some interesting finds on my site that might just catch your eye, well I’d like to think so.
Sorry about the essay but I’m new to all this blog lark.
Thanks and best wishes
