today i wanna start a new category called "great book covers and titles". very often, i see a book cover or read a title and already feel the need to buy the book without even having read the abstract. here are 4 books for starters.
that last one is pretty amazing. i absolutely share your feelings towards book covers. but i often end up buying books without reading them for months or sometimes even years.
i can't think of any outstanding book covers right now, but i'll let you know as soon as i do.

and now comes the fun part. through cut-out pages, the whole novel tells a new story out of an old novel.
