missbhavens:

I haven’t read this since fourth grade. I’m betting this will be a very different experience as an adult. For some reason I felt like I should switch back to Real Paper Books for it. My paper book choices are very different than my e-book choices.

VINTAGE LIMITED EDITION HARDBACKS

Vintage design has the privilege of working on many limited edition hardbacks, working both in-house and collaboratively with illustrators. Here are just a small selection of covers including cloth-bound editions of Tolstoy and the fiftieth anniversary edition of Catch-22 with sprayed edges.

Tord Boontje designed the Harvill centenary edition of Doctor Zhivago and the Vintage Classics edition of Madame Bovary was illustrated by Karen Nicol.

Also featured are the upcoming Vintage Classics editions of The Enchanted Wanderer by Nikolai Leskov, illustrated by Klaus Haapaniemi; and Kurt Vonnegut: Letters, both published in April this year.

“His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.”

Beautiful.

karenkavett:

New video and blog post about the process of designing the illustration on the box set of John Green’s books, as well as the matching poster. I don’t know if the poster will ever be available publicly, but perhaps they might decide to do something with it if enough people show an interest!

White’s Books is former Penguin Books designer David Pearson’s new publishing house. Renowned artists are commissioned to design the binding for each of the beautifully crafted hardcovers. Petra Borner (a fashion designers that has worked for Louis Vuitton), Stanley Donwood (a wood- and lino-cut artist that is best known for designing Radiohead’s album covers), and Joe McLaren (an illustrator for The Times and Monocle) are just a few of the great designers.

“I think your books always tell a story about you … They’re a way to touch on ideas and thoughts that aren’t your own but are essential to you. A lot of people would put books on shelves they hadn’t read or were by someone who had touched their lives.”

Our former online editor, Thessaly La Force, on the growing business of reader recommendations. Thessaly’s book, My Ideal Bookshelf, a collaboration with artist Jane Mount, is out in November.
