The Illustrated Dust Jacket, 1920-1970 | 
Soccer and a big book of pictures.
I throw away all the dust jackets from my hardcovers.

Maybe I ordered something for me aswell... 😉💖😍
So just a random thought, but how cool would it be if there was a service where you could print off a new just jacket for a book whose jacket had become dirty or torn?! #booknerdproblems #bookishproblems
1. Aside from books, maybe bookmarks. Oh, and half my life is spent collecting laundry. And sorting it. And washing and folding it. 😳
2. I like how a book looks with the dust jacket, so I usually leave it on.

3. Thriftbooks, BookDepository, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon
pickWell worth tracking down for those who like to judge books by their covers 😉 The book has two sections: a chronological overview of the period and a section that highlights individual artists, explaining what made each person's work distinctive. Can't wait to apply this knowledge on my next bookshop crawl 😁
OK last one. This was designed by Hans Tisdall. I love the wraparound design and the lush colours.
Susan Einzig illustrated this dust jacket, and it makes the book look awesome. I would totally buy it if I came across it.
Brian Cook's gorgeous cover of The English Castle, by Hugh Braun. Cook was later in demand to design travel posters. This is indeed reminiscent of the posters on British Library Crime Classics covers 😊
Boris Artzybasheff was definitely an interesting designer...this one is startling!
Saturday morning reading is this bad boy. Full of lovely dust jackets...and yes I'm adding books to the TBR as a result 😂
#TBRtemptation post 1! Recently released. This is a #bookaboutbooks. A work of art. A coffee table set piece. This is wonderful! We wanted to bring this jewel home with us. Lavishly illustrated. It shows the evolution of the dust jacket, from its practical beginnings to its use as a marketing tool. Shown are the bibliophiles' fads and trends over time in conjunction with changing societal tastes. Marvelous! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
This book looks like a must-have 😍 An article about it with some lovely images of vintage dust jackets https://hyperallergic.com/408780/the-golden-age-of-the-illustrated-book-dust-jac...
