My dad loves books more than anybody I know. My parents' house is like a library. And ever since I was a kid I've watched my father time and again come home with new paperback books (usually gleefully foraged from a musty second-hand bookshop, purchased furtively as if the 20p price tag was extortionate) and meticulously back them in paper to keep them pristine.
This is actually nothing more than the user manual for his camcorder, nonetheless lovingly protected in some very nice paper commemorating Penguin Books' publishing tradition.
The art here was provided to us, we only executed the design. The original art had a full busy background and we effectively masked it all out for the design. Illustrators must have hated us.

Landmark Books were a series of history books published in the 1950's for children. I loved reading them as a kid, but got most of them from the library where the had dull covers without dustjackets. I've been picking some up at thrift shops. I really enjoy the cover art, and since I seem to barely be able to make a dent in my monthly upload limit, I'm sharing them with you.

Dustjacket cover of "Mistress Barbara Cunliffe" by Halliwell Sutcliffe, written in 1901. This edition is published by Wright & Brown of Farringdon Avenue, London, as part of their 2/6 Net Series in the 1930s.
Halliwell Sutcliffe was a prolific author who wrote over 40 books between the 1890s and 1930s. Many of his novels are historical romantic dramas set in the Yorkshire Dales (including a series set in Haworth, renamed as the fictional Marshcotes). He was born in Thackley in April 1870. At the time the family was living at Cross Roads, but then moved to Bingley. He was educated at Bingley Grammar School (where his father was headmaster) then at King's College, Cambridge, where he read mathematics. He married Mabel Cottrell of Twickenham in 1904, they had two sons, and lived in Embsay then Linton-in-Craven. It was here that Sutcliffe died in January 1932, aged 61. He was passionate about the outdoors, becoming the first president of the West Riding Ramblers' Federation, and his ashes were scattered on his beloved moors.
The book is from the personal collection of History Society member Tim Neal and was scanned on behalf of the Society in March 2022.

A MAP OF VERONA
Most of the poems in this book were written during the war; only a few of them, however, are directly concerned with it. Half of the book consists of a group of short poems, some of which are comic. The rest is made up of a set of poems called 'The Desert', and written round images of adventure; another set suggested by the ruins of Tintagel; and two dramatic monologues spoken by characters out of Sophocles. It is presumed that the experiences dealt with through these images and persons are among the commonest known to men and women.
I LOVE the way the endpapers turned out! Thanks to all of my friends who wrote me yearbook notes. You'll ONLY be able to find the endpapers in the hardcover edition--the softcover won't have them.

Have become disatisfied with my design for the Kraken cover, am going a different way with it.
More minimal. Stronger palette.

Very nice quality, though I do not have an Asuka to compare this to. One of the pages had a slice down through a portion of it where it ha been bound incorrectly. I called WHCC and they QUICKLY remade a replacement. Called them Tuesday when mine arrived and the replacement was in my hands by Friday morning. I was impressed. The dust jacket is on photographic paper and is very heavy and almost a plastic coated feel to it, but I like it. Not a slippery slick type of dust jacket like most books have.

Cutwork book jackets. The insert on the inside can be turned over to the other side for a different look. Once the coil notebook inside is filled up, it can be swapped out with a new notebook. These ones are for 4X6" notebooks.
I used some of the same mesh designs here that I developed for my travel soap bags.
John Glenn is a former U.S. Marine Corps aviator, engineer, astronaut and United States Senator. He was selected as one of the "Mercury Seven" group of military test pilots selected in 1959 by NASA to become America's first astronauts and fly the Project Mercury spacecraft. On February 20, 1962, Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission and became the first American to orbit the Earth and the fifth person in space, after cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov and the sub-orbital flights of Mercury astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. John Glenn returned to space on October 29, 1998, at age 77, aboard the space shuttle Discovery. [Source: Wikipedia]
If all goes well at the printer, this will be the (not very secret) reverse dustjacket cover for the hardcover edition of John Kessel's The Baum Plan for Financial Independence and Other Stories (4/08).
This is another example of a clear pvc dustjacket, but shows how we can weld pockets to the front also for Business cards, membership cards and other items.

Project Gemini was NASA’s second human spaceflight program, conducted between projects Mercury and Apollo. It started in 1961 and concluded in 1966. It was an enormous undertaking, involving awesome risks, and set the stage for the last and greatest adventure in the U.S. space program, Project Apollo. “Appointment in the Sky” is the story of the men and machines of Project Gemini as told by Sol Levine, the deputy technical director of the project. Published in 1963, in the midst of Project Gemini, Levine describes its origin and purpose, the special training of the pairs of astronauts who participated, and the minute-by-minute procedures of the flight, the rendezvous in orbit, the uncoupling and the re-entry. It is filled with detail about space flight. President Lyndon Johnson wrote the Foreword to the book.
