I love this original dustwrapper artwork by Hans Helweg from 1960 for April Evil by John D MacDonald. It’s intrigued me into buying the book - can’t wait. Not sure now long I’ll be able to resist hanging this on the wall at home. #hanshelweg #dustwrapper #artwork #johndmacdonald #aprilevil #firsteditionbooks #firsteditions #instabook #booksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jBaWnp2zt/?igshid=1bzljf36us6ky

An English Farmhouse John Piper His dust-jacket for Geoffrey Grigson's 1948 book on the essence and spirit of the English Farmhouse. It was inspired by Piper and Grigson's visits, examining the surface details of weathered buildings and their construction. The book fits neatly into the neoromantics and the New Excusions into English Landscape series that Max Parrish and Adprint also published. #neoromantic #johnpiper #landscape #dustwrapper #surfacepattern #adprint #geoffreygrigson #farmhoused @hilltopfarmgirl

London Fabric. Eric Ravilious. Ravilious lithographed one, perhaps two, dust wrappers, in contrast to his friend Edward Bawden who must have designed well over 100 book jackets during his life. This isn't a book on textiles but London buildings, and published on the very eve of war, in September 1939, and could almost have been commissioned for Kenneth Clarke's Recording Britain project. #ericravilious #londonfabric #dustwrapper #recordingbritain
