Inspired Design: Coralie Bickford-Smith

I am completely obsessed with these beautiful book jackets designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith (senior designer for Penguin Books). Of course we all know the adage about not judging a book by its cover...but by the looks of these beauties I'd say it's safe to go right on ahead and do just that. Wouldn't you love a whole bookshelf filled with these gorgeous tomes?! See more of Coralie's wonderful design work right here. (These lovely treasures were discovered via Uppercase)

Ooh wow. Those are gorgeous!

...in a weird way it brought back memories of when we had to cover our textbooks in school. My friends and I would always try to make ours as pretty as possible. :)

I am seriously going to have to get these. My favorite novels will now be my favorite decorations. With these on my table I'll look smart and chic:)
