Description
Sure to spark fond memories, this treasury of children's book covers from the late-1800s to the mid-1900s highlights the marvellous cover art of the period, from the brilliantly illustrated fairy tales to early editions of favourite classics. Captions offer notes and details about each book, artist, and era. A delightful book for bibliophiles, artists, illustrators, and designers and those who just love books.Tags

This book is interesting for only those people into book covers. It has scant, but informative, narratives of the decades between 1850 and 1950 describing the influences on book cover design. It has a lot of photos of book covers, primarily from the authors personal library. While they are interesting, I'm not sure they are the best examples of what he was trying to convey.
