Book covers

Coralie Bickford-Smith designs covers for Penguin Books. A few years ago, she did an amazing series for Penguin Classics.

I want to buy the collection, just because the covers look so great. I hope the typographic choices on the interior of the books are as good as the design of the covers.

A bit from Bickford-Smith in a 2008 interview about the book covers:

I wanted to create sumptuous books for people to enjoy, cherish and pass on.

I think she succeeded brilliantly; indeed, my first thought when I saw these was they have a timeless, heirloom feel.
