Beautiful dust jackets and a bit of book history

[Katie-Ellen]

Further to a recent discussion of contemporary book jaceket designs, this link from second hand bookseller Abe Books features original vintage jackets.

Any faves?

They're not on that site, but I've always loved the original dust jackets for The Great Gatsby and To Kill A Mockingbird

I like the Fer de Lance (shudder. I would not like to encounter a fer de lance) And the Metropolis cover; I'm always torn between pictorial and abstract designs

Stuart Little. Brings back memories.
