Books: Nice Backs
Backs of books can be great. I know this photo I took today in a secondhand bookshop/thrift store/antique store is a bit out of focus but I still wanted to show it to you. It is a Swedish encyclopedia of animals called Djurens värld ("The World of Animals") and it was printed in 1963 or -64 if I remember correctly. Sadly I couldn't find out who designed it, but it would make anyone's library look nicer.

Update: I went back and took a few more photos, put them together:
