Miss seeing those really cool painted, illustrated paperback book covers. Most of what I see now is minimalistic or photoshop stuff. Or my least preferred, covers from movies. Which aren’t inherently bad, but it’s just not… fun for me. Like I’m talking, I’m wanting covers where the cover artist went OFF. Cheap paperbacks with some SOUL. I want to pick up that book and be sucked into the world with the cover. I want that artist signature in the corner. More illustrated covers!!

#ghost posts #also miss seeing classy or intricate hardcovers #though I know some bookstores are doing those fancy leatherish ones now which are pretty #this is me missing the 2 for $1 my dad got as a ‘for when they’re teens’ when I was born lol #that had such fun illustrations #if not for the giant printed label that said 2 for $1 that you can’t remove #idk if it was an 80s or 90s thing but now a lot of them use movie posters or stuff #like my narnia book is the movie post and ughhhh #I’d rather have an illustration or just a good font and borderwork #I’ll post pictures of some of my wizard of oz series books one day #don’t have all of them in the series sadly but yeah
