All the Nooks and Kindles and iPads today make us long for the days when you had the time to just stroll through a library smelling the musty, weathered pages and browsing cracked bindings and magical covers (apparently our hometown libraries weren't in the best condition). But now you can enjoy the must with no fuss, thanks to
Awful Library Books!
Michigan librarians Mary and Holly have set up a blog to share the amusing, the bizarre, and the nostalgic covers, pages, and photos they find in their collection. The subjects are never skewered too harshly, the books are held up in good fun and generally appreciated for their value, be it artistic or kitsch.
It's an interesting peek into design, literature, and the written word. Check it out and let us know in the comments what book cover you'd like to see listed. Our idea was already taken...
...but man oh man do I have a screenplay to write.
