Pelican Books

By Henry Lambert on April 19, 2007

When I was a student I’d often go through my dad’s old text books looking for an interesting or unfashionable angle on what I was being taught, not only did this (hopefully) make my essays more interesting to read it also entered me into the world of 1960s and 1970s book cover design.

Acejet170 has done us all a favour and dug through his library of Pelican Books and photographing their unique and classic covers. There is some fantastic stuff in there including some Alan Fletcher work.
