A great website for lovers of book design is The Book Cover Archive, which allows you to browse covers by Typeface, Genre, Art Director, Illustrator, Publisher and more. They also host a wonderful blog that includes discoveries such as “an offset print of Homer’s Iliad, printed at a “resolution” of 30 words per square centimeter.”

U.S vs. U.K book covers!
The American covers are on the left side of the pairs, think I prefer the UK ones overall. Except for the last pair, where the American one is much better in my opinion.

Bird Of Poetry of the Day: The raven that inspired Edgar Allan Poe’s well-known narrative poem is now on display at a Free Library of Philadelphia exhibit in honor of Charles Dickens’s 200th birthday.
Dickens? Wha? Well, it seems the raven was actually the Victorian novelist’s pet bird Grip. It was the raven’s brief appearance in Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge which inspired Poe to write his poem: He felt the black bird had been shortchanged.
Upon Dickens’ death in 1870, Grip was stuffed and mounted and now joins a massive collection of the author’s letters, which will also be on display at the library.
