Nostalgic to see a portrait of Jack Nicholson in his prime on the cover of this 1963 movie tie-in edition of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest #bookjacket #paperback #movies

I used to treat myself each summer by reading one Dorothy Dunnett novel, then my self-control gave way and I gorged on all the remaining Lymond and Niccolo books in one big gulp. This cover is so banal compared to the contents within. Will be re-reading, maybe as a retirement treat, twenty years down the line. #littlelibrary #bookjacket #masterpiece

Models chosen for the book cover give the title an extra creepy edge, since the girl looks about nine and the boy looks like he’s in his late teens. Guessing from the sticker that Donna read it when she was a preteen. An enemies-to-lovers (kissers) teen romance from 1984 much beloved by readers. #romance #bookjacket #littlelibrary

Trimming more of Laura Berretti’s brilliant hand-marbled paper this afternoon, down to the size for the new book’s jacket.

“Measure ten times, cut once.”
That’s my mantra today as I work with the exquisite sheets of hand-marbled paper by Laura Berretti, trimming them to make jackets for the forthcoming Thoreau booklet, “The Angle of Dazzle.” It’s an honor and also slightly terrifying to cut these pieces of art.

“Charlie Carter’s big stallion, Golden Boy, had a new opportunity to prove he was “all horse.””
There’s definitely more than one way to read that tagline.
From 1954. #bookjacket #horsesofmastodon #yeehaw

Boringest Wuthering Heights #bookjacket ever? Was the goal of this 1968 edition to make the novel a “serious” text for study? Give me windswept moors! Give me a dark broody man with tousled hair! Give me a woman in a ghostly white shift! I want atmosphere. An AI could definitely do better than this. #coverdesign #design #books #bookstodon

Nothing evokes "sexually avant-garde writer of Belle Époque Paris" like a purple #bookjacket with a black silhouette of a cat and the author's name in red script that looks like a 1960s take on a Gold Rush bordello sign.
* I found this in an online library, rather than a #littlelibrary, but I had to share it anyhow.
