Top Ten Tuesday: Topography

 Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

Today's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is "book covers featuring cool/pretty/unique/etcetera typography".  My focus, as always, is on books that I own so that I can share my original photos and I have some in my collection that are just perfect for this prompt.

1. This first one is a Barnes & Noble collectable edition, and the font is just perfect for the cover.



2. & 3.These next two photos show Canterbury Classics Word Cloud editions, which I love just entirely for the typography! 
  




4. This is a reprinted journal full of drawings, and the font on the front is meant to look like the handwriting in the book.


5.  The sweeping letters of this vintage edition give the feel of flying, to my mind.



6. The title's font is just perfect for this one!  (my review here)
  


7. There is not much that is lovelier than antique covers with gorgeous fonts!


8. This is one of my childhood favorites, and the font style and placement suits it wonderfully.

9. Another childhood favorite with a full-of-character font.


10.  This oversized vintage edition has perfect typography!


What about you?  Do you love fonts and typography, too?  Have you seen any of these editions?  Do you have any favorites of your own?

    That would be a fun prompt to find favorite or interesting covers of classics. Thanks for the idea.

    These are great examples, and I love that you went above and beyond by doing your own graphics.

    Some beautiful book covers. I usually buy paperback only but I would be very tempted by some of these.
