The Original Rectangle-With-Scotch-Rules-And-Type-On-A-Patterned-Field Book Covers

(...all images from here...and click to enlarge...)

I was telling my good friend Okada about how much I love the style of The Nevermind book cover and he sent me this link to these books designed in the same manner - I think they are called Insel-Bücherei and if the last commentor on this blog post is correct they are "a rather respected literary series in Germany (and popular with collectors), spanning from 1912 to 1990 or so".

Sounds good to me...!

Happy Tuesday...
