Flower Fairies by Cicely M. Barker.
the 4 tomes (FF of the spring..summer...autumn...winter)- are some of my most-loved books from childhood, but these are Blythe/Sindy sized, with mini dustjackets and slip covers!
from evilbee UK - not my pic
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam - such a pretty little hardcover - it has a slightly ripped dustjacket, too, but I took it off for the photo
Enjoying Paintings by A.C. Ward - aw, a vintage Puffin!
My boyfriend and I were looking at a bunch of free books on the sidewalk, possibly stoop-sale leftovers or possibly just free, and a woman said to me, "I think the book sales are my favorite part of this neighborhood!" Then she said she has so much to read already, and I agreed. "The pile just keeps growing," I said, and we laughed. Aww Park Slope bookishness.

Nice inscription "From Floyd, To Dave Xmas 1937"
"Ben-Hur is one of the best selling books of all times. This poignant novel intertwines the life stories of a Jewish charioteer named Judah Ben-Hur and Jesus Christ. It explores the themes of betrayal and redemption. Ben-Hur's family is wrongly accused and convicted of treason during the time of Christ. Ben-Hur fights to clear his family's name and is ultimately inspired by the rise of Jesus Christ and his message. A powerful, compelling novel."

black linen cloth box with dustjacket design inset with colored leather onlays on the front
Musician, writer, copy editor, beatboxer, and pen spinner. Did I mention he is also a beatboxer? I believe he went as a beat box for Halloween.
For the first edition, first printing release of The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands in 1998, Donald M. Grant released a limited edition boxed set also containing reprints of the first two books. With a third printing of The Gunslinger and a second edition The Drawing of the Three, a bonded leather, foil stamped slipcase rounds out this set perfectly.
The dustjacket does have some minor imperfections on the edge, I'll be looking to correct for this in the future.
I've spent the past 5 years building a home library for my daughter. As a result, dust jackets blow around our house like tumbleweeds.

Hardback with dustjacket and paperback.
Finally got the first copies today! They really are quite lush inside, especially the few spreads that I managed to lay out in the book.
I know it's no bestseller, but I'm damn chuffed with myself and am really proud that I managed to make something from my pictures – something more tangible than just a few prints.
imtrying.net/ikwmwa : closing party at Freud's Bathhouse & Diner is Tuesday, August 31st 4PM-Midnight.
London: Penguin/F. Warne, [1995]. Hardback with pictorial boards and dustjacket and decorated endpapers. 83 pages. Condition: Very Good.
When Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she had little idea how popular this story and the twenty-two that followed it would immediately become. No other animal stories have so captivated the imagination of children and adults alike. Today the Tales are bestsellers all over the world, translated into many foreign languages. Frederick Warne uses the most advanced technolgoy to reproduce the original pictures eith a freshnes and degree of authenticity unattainable until recently.
These little books should be among the first owned by any child and their appeal is still as strong as when the first story was published.

Vogue;s Cookery Book
London: Conde Nast Publications, [1947.] Hardback with chipped dustjacket.
Vogue's Cookery Book contains over 400 of the best receipts tracked down by the editors of the British, French and American editions of Vogue in the years between the two world wars.
First published in 1939, its original copies were rapidly disposed of, and despite the unpropitious circumstances there has long been a demand for a second edition.
Obviously some of the receipts in this reprint are beyond the possibilities of the still-rationed larder, except for the occasional feast. Most, however, can be adapted by the clever housewife to the resources of austerity cooking, wherever it still prevails.
While for the more favoured countries all are available for the civilized reader who is interested in really good food.
The book is available for pre-order here: We Are the Cat: Life Through the Eyes of the Royal Feline

I reshot this. You can see the whole thing a little better now... I'm confused about whether the concept still works, but I'll probably redo it for my portfolio anyway.
Meh.
The front cover for "One Night". The assignment was the create a concept for a book and shoot photos for it, then design two spread and the cover. The cover is a wrap around dust jacket, with inside flaps. The concept was basically night life and fashion, the idea of getting ready to go out into the night without showing where the people are going.
