Book Worship
September 2, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Books & Design
I was clued in to Book Worship through the fine folks at Dwell and since then I’ve been loving it. Started by Shawn Hazen who used to work over at Dwell, Shawn is basically a book nerd who finds these great old books which having amazing covers. Sometimes you might run across a Flickr group that showcases cool old book, but Shawn is like a curator of fine book art. Lots of great stuff to see, be sure to check it out.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.It’s always the university textbooks that have the coolest covers. The nerdier the material, the better.
HATED the cover of my History of Industrial Design textbook.
Wow. These are amazing. I’m such a data nerd. Vintage science + Helvetica and two/three colors. How can you go wrong?
With as much love as there is online for book covers like this when are publishers going to learn to start doing this again
Drool worthy.

indeed very nice looking cover, like to see you go beyond the cover, and actually read it and understand it; after all books are for reading not looking.
Good stuff.
@6mt – That defeats the purpose of the blog, which is to appreciate the design of the book covers.
