The books I picked were all perfect binding.
Rainer Maria Rilke Letters to A Young Poet $11.00
This book’s typeface is very unique. It have art nouveau taste on everything, and have a cherry blossom on the front page with brown cover. I really like the type face used on the text, and it is quite clear and easy to read.
I also like the fact that there is 3 blank page at the end.
Franz Kafka Blumfeld, An Elderly Bachelor $18.95
This book is very Unique. The cover is all black, and there is wired white text on the back. When you open the page, there is cute, yet illusional pattern on the other side of the cover with blue and white stripe. Furthermore, there are wired little pictures between the text pages, and text is soo big compared to other books.
Yes, its Kafka’s book.
Voltaire Candide
It has the perfect classic look with the green fabric hard cover. And it is the classic novel.
I tend to like the classic both style and literature, and this is the example of it. I couldn’t find the price, but it should cost a lot.
BlakeButler Scorch Atlas $14.95
This book is new, but it is designed like a old worn book you find in library. This book even have a library label on the back. All page’s paper is like a photo paper, and have a printing beneath the text, which also make this book like a old one.
Michel Chabon The Yiddish Policemen’s Union $15.95
I don’t particularly like this book, but it stands out more than other books, and I couldn’t ignored this. This book’s cover have a Aztec-ish color and design. The graphic is very powerful and catches your eyes. Inside is typical old book.
Fyodor Dostoevsky The Adolescent $16.95
I love this book and this author. This is a cute yet odd story about young boy, but the cover is yellow and cannot tell what kind of story it have thru the cover art. The cover art is somewhat classical; however, compared to other Dostoevsky’s book, it looks modern. The text of the context is easy to read, and I also like the size of the book—it’s little bigger than usual.
David Barringer There’s nothing funny about Design $24.95
Like the title, this book is cute and well designed. The cover is very colorful and well organized. This book shows design from the government official letters to many little things.
