Call me a sucker and I wouldn’t argue with you.

All it takes is some pretty cover on a book and I am almost willing to shelve my e-book reader lust, and purchase these classics.
Buy them here at Waterstone Books in the U.K.
Wonder if they ship to North America?
This makes me want to cover my last remaining books with pretty fabric now.

I actually saw them at Indigo/Chapters (the one in the Eaton Centre).
Not sure if it's the same cover designs though.
I saw some nice ones at Urban Outfitters but paperback.

They are on sale in the US, but only some of them. The cover artist is Coralie Brickford-Smith. Find them here at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_8_5?url=search-...
I have had my eye on them for quite some time.

They totally sell them in North America!
I bought 2 of them last year from a Canadian website, can't remember which off the top of my head. They're so pretty!

Love them. I have lots of these books in crappy paperback form but would love to have the pretty hardcover versions!

I'm not sure about Canada, but Amazon U.S. carries them!
(Completely unnecessary side note: when I first read about this I bookmarked it so I can blog about it…and then I had a dream that I blogged about it and thought that I had in real life! When I realized the blunder I just get frustrated with myself and decided not to blog about it.)

You can get those at Chapters as well. I think they cost between $8 – $12 each.

You're an enabler, you know that?
They are so pretty indeed. Strangely enough, though, the librarian in me is much more comfortable with mismatched books. Perhaps that's because nothing at work matches. Also, matched books at work mean series, which can be more work for me. Or fake.

I was at chapters a few weeks ago, and nearly ran over the display of them. Very lovely covers, very close to bringing one home.

They are very pretty. Would be great decoration and books, at least serving a double purpose.

I don't think this is silly at all — pretty book covers lift the spirit. I covered all my textbooks in junior and high school — needed all the help I could get to face Chemistry!

ENABLER!
I think they’re gorgeous. I especially enjoyed Dorian Gray (read it a week or two ago)… and they’d be pretty as decoration AND serve a good purpose on my bookshelf.

You know what, that happens to me a lot.
I dreamed that I blogged about so many things that when I go online I’m surprised like: Where is my post on _____ ??!?!?!?
This is when I realized that I was a blogging maniac.
