On covers I'm obsessed with this week: Mini Clothbound Classics.

Excited to share new work for New York Times bestselling and Eisner award-winning creator Jeff Lemire (Netflix's Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer, Gideon Falls) — the publication design of a limited, and oversized hardcover edition collecting the bestselling MAZEBOOK series (published by Dark Horse Comics). Bringing the Mazebook to life through design, the publication features a cloth cover with embroidery, foil stamping, a color ribbon and gilding, signed tip-in plate and a rich backmatter section featuring illustrations by guest artists and Jeff's notes on the creation of Mazebook.

This caps the creative journey we embarked on when I joined Jeff and Dark Horse Editor Daniel Chabon to develop the publication design and visual identity for the landmark, best-selling series.

the only thing stopping me from buying every classic ive read as a clothbound classic is the tiniest thread of self control

One of my goals for 2020 was to read more classics, so I started Great Expectations by Charles Dickens... and I'm sorry to say I hated it. I found the writing style and plot boring and the characters were average. I hate saying it, but I really didn't enjoy it... so I put it down. I didn't even reach the half way point before giving up on it 🤦‍♀️

I hate disliking classics, but I've noticed I really don't like Charles Dickens and his writing. I love classics, and I think there's something magical about reading a book that was written hundreds of years ago. And so I'm always disappointed when I can't finish a classical book. Let me know if you've read Great Expectations, and what you thought of it 😊
