With the way technology is going, the cries of, “Print is dead!” can be heard. While I love my Apple products and dare I say, even those e-readers (despite my initial reservations) there is nothing like holding a book in my hands.

The days of a plain black or brown leather cover are gone. These are fresh and colourful yet well designed to age gracefully on the bookshelf. Considering the content are classics, you’ll want these around for a while.
For a pattern lover like myself, I want to buy each and every single one. It’s also great motivation to read and re-read some great novels. Here are some more:
