Vintage Book Covers

I bookmarked this post from Bluelines, the former Martha Stewart blog, some time ago because the colors and graphics struck my fancy. As both a book and graphics lover, I find there is a special appeal in vintage/retro designs and their muted colors. As the original blog post suggests, BookScans is a site that makes available scans of old book covers, and The Book Cover Archive does the same for more modern covers. What a neat opportunity for an art project, or at the very least for design inspiration!
