gelukkig in de jaren zestig

i have always preferred paperback and/or pocket books. lightweight, small, cheap, flexible, great to carry around all the time, plus you can read them hanging upside down in your sofa. so very practical for a student that travels between cities all the time.

but then i saw these:
i. want. them. all.
english classics, patterns, colours, clothbound... and prettyyyyyy.

also check out the designers website: coralie bickford smith; very inspiring! the "gothic horror" and "arabian nights" series are quite handsome as well.
