So many books I have picked out, because of the cover art. :-)<br /><br />A bit off topic but, just read the other day, about some designer, who puts books on library shelves, with the "pages out". No various colors of books or book jackets showing. So as to have shelves of white/cream/etc. colors.

They weren't pretty like many book illustrations but they told you a lot about action in the story. I particularly loved a book illustrated by him which told the story of children moved to the country side to a relative, I think, who lived in a cottage. One of the boys started an archaeological dig in the garden, can't remember much more but would love to find it again.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830177691014290662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-14438503119371783792018-02-02T17:07:46.963+00:002018-02-02T17:07:46.963+00:00A book about books....interesting xA book about books....interesting xWinters End Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924495691256051693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-43615578507295602402018-02-02T15:50:29.191+00:002018-02-02T15:50:29.191+00:00The British Library Crime Classics have sold very ...The British Library Crime Classics have sold very well because of their covers being like old railway postersSue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-6416519135221250762018-02-02T15:49:05.435+00:002018-02-02T15:49:05.435+00:00We didn't have to cover exercise books - thank...We didn't have to cover exercise books - thank goodnessSue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-28477365361936227822018-02-02T15:47:51.637+00:002018-02-02T15:47:51.637+00:00We have a couple of small railway carriage prints ...We have a couple of small railway carriage prints from the 1950s.
