15 Gorgeous Book Cover Redesigns

This week, the always excellent Everyman’s Library released a gorgeous new printing of Phillip Pullman’s epic fantasy trilogy, His Dark Materials. Not only is it a beautiful edition, but it’s the first time that the three books have been published in one volume, so it is quite a neat little package. Inspired by Pullman’s wonderfully evocative new cover, we’ve collected a few other utterly gorgeous book cover redesigns for your viewing pleasure. Many of these are full backlist redesigns — after all, there’s something magical about a set of books designed to be together — but all of them are, we think, rather glorious. Click through to feast your eyes on these redesigned books, and let us know if we’re missed any of your favorites in the comments!

Even though I've read the "His Dark Materials" series. I really want that set now. Gorgeous cover art! Also really loving Coralie Bickford - Smith's Art Deco wallpaper looking covers, The brilliant retro Bond covers, Jillian Tamaki's work, Peter Mendelsund's work, Megan Wilson and Evan Gaffney's work, The Nabokov's and Jennifer Wang's art

Love the Fitzgerald and Woolf covers. And of course the Penguin Threads covers are gorgeous... wish you could actually buy the original embroidered ones :)

The Don DeLillo ones are absolutely TDF...

My granddaughter in LA forwarded this page to me in Maine, wanting me to admire especially the Pullman (I do) and the Woolf. I have the problem others are mentioning: the "next" button doesn't do anything. This is on a Mac with both Safari & Firefox. BGT

Your new gallery buttons (next/previous etc) don't work in Safari (Mac). For those experiencing problems, try Firefox, worked for me. Flavorwire, might wanna test site updates more thoroughly, or, you know, just put everything onto one page......

I'm with Jenny and M. The links don't work, ever. Can anyone help me? I can't read any of the beautiful Flavorwire articles :(

OK. Stunning. So where do I buy them? Want to send to Mom for Xmas.

Just FYI, it's not the first time the his dark materials trilogy was published in one volume... there was an omnibus released in '07 =)

hi, i can only see one cover, the pullman one. is there some secret way to see all the images behind the cut because i can never see any image behind the cut ever..on your website thanks

The Bond covers are to die for.

Wonderful designs -- I'm still waiting for a couple of the Nabokovs to come in stock. Correction, though: "His Dark Materials" has already been published in a single volume. (It's the edition I own. I think it came out when that movie was released.) http://www.amazon.com/Materials-Omnibus-Golden-Compass-Spyglass/dp/0375847227/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

I would like to spend all of my money on these books despite the fact that I already own a lot of them! They really are gorgeous.
