Books and Their Covers

Posted on | August 25, 2010 | No Comments

Some of the people behind Abe Books—which appears to be a used/rare/out of print online megamarket—have come up with a gallery of 50 Iconic Book Covers that they believe would make you stop and stare if you saw them in a window. As they put it, “Most have been around for some decades, some are very famous, some were famous, and a few have been forgotten.”

Some of these I’ve read, some of them are on my to-read list, and some of them I’ve never heard of. I probably would have tossed Gone With the Wind into the mix, but that’s just me.
