Site-Luv: BookByItsCover.com

Fact: I am an utter bibliophile.

Fact: I have an obsession with book design: it remains one of my favorite design formats. I have a long-standing dream of becoming a book cover designer.

Fact: I utterly love the site Bookbyitscover.com



BookByItsCover is a site dedicated to beautiful books. Run by Julia Rothman, an incredibly talented illustrator and pattern designer from Brooklyn, NY, BBIC not only features gorgeous graphic books, but displays photography of their inner pages, allowing the reader to get as close a personal experience as one can with the a book, save for having one in your lap. Not only is the content superb, but the site's design utilizes a divinely simple and unique format that lends itself to the "bookish" style of the subject matter, along with easy-breezy content navigation. The photography Julia takes to present each book resonates her love of the form.

Whether you are a seeking inspiration, or simply looking for something to stick on your coffee table, Bookbyitscover.com satisfies that deep need in many of us for bound beauty.
