A good book cover is evocative, emotional, and revealing. It lures readers in and invites them to begin a journey with just a hint of the story that is about to unfold. They are true works of art.
Though many great movies are based on books, many more are not. Good Movies as Old Books features more than 200 beloved films reimagined as book covers for the first time, giving readers the distinct pleasure of seeing a favorite film transformed into cover art. Through masterful design, art, and typography, graphic designer Matt Stevens has created original vintage-style covers across film genres and eras of book design. From Braveheart to Parasite, Do the Right Thing to Top Gun, this page-turning assortment of box office hits, acclaimed indies, golden era gems, and cult classics will inspire you to discover new favorites or rethink the films you've seen a thousand times. A whole new way to celebrate the movies we love, this is the perfect gift for bibliophiles and cinephiles.
