59 Vintage Book Covers
October 05, 2009
This weekend I was cruising through flickr and came across this group called Book Cover Club. To my surprise (and delight!) they were all vintage book covers. Nothing pleases me more than some vintage in my life!
Some of these books are so ridiculous like the sexual fantasy ones, but the cover is still pure 1960s gold! Some of these look like the so-bad-that-they're-good type, and some I actually really want to read! Anyway, I'll leave you guys with the collection. Don't forget to let me know what you think via twitter or facebook! Hope you guys enjoy these as much as I did :)

Vintage book covers are awesome. I think there might be more flickr groups out there devoted to this topic.
I'm generally more partial to the old sci-fi covers - you can usually find old books at used bookstores for dirt cheap.
Sa ressemble aux livres de mon enfance !

James Auchincloss was just 6 years old when he carried the wedding train of his half-sister Jackie up the aisle as she married John F. Kennedy in 1953.

Excellent resource.
Love the hand-drawn type and illustrations. I wish our industry did more handwork and created value for our clients once more.
