Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Typographic Book Covers, i.e. book covers with a design that is all or mostly all words, submitted by Mareli at ElzaReads. I’ve cheated a bit – or used my imagination if you’re feeling generous, or been lazy if you’re not – and picked ten book spines that demonstrate a variety of typographic designs.

Great list of gorgeous typographic book spines. It does show the large variety of typography designs.

I think this is a great interpretation of the prompt! The Binding has a gorgeous spine as do the two books on the end. Plus the spines have to communicate so much about mood in a bookstore or in a personal collection–they’re a great way to think about how every part of a book is designed to appeal to its audience.

Yes, that’s a point a couple of people have made that I hadn’t really thought about before. I don’t do it myself – I’m an alphabetical girl – but I can understand why some people like to arrange their books by colour for that very reason.

Some really pretty spines here! Honestly, it’s probably more important for a spine to look good than the front cover itself, because that’s the part of the book that you’re first going to see in a bookshop, and the part you’ll always be looking at when it’s on your shelf!

It’s something I hadn’t really thought about before but I completely agree, especially when you’re purchasing from a bookshop rather than online.
