We have to say, we're loving this idea that we spied over at Urban Outfitters: blown up vintage book covers as art prints. Since we are big fans of 70's book design, this is a pretty cool idea for a weekend DIY project. Depending on your craft skills and equipment, you could scan in your favorite book cover yourself and print it out as "tiles," or you could get to printed out professionally at a standard poster-size.

they have these, and a lot more titles, at art.com and posters.com as well (just search for book covers). I considered getting some for my classroom, but decided they cost too much.
reviewing the selections, I'd say urban outfitters is judging the covers by their books
my thought? how pretentious.
every teenage hipster carries around a tattered copy of catcher in the rye.
that being said, i love urban outfitters. i just hate the transparent, elitist crap they try sometimes.
it's way cheaper to get these posters other than at uo.
pretentious? really? the catcher in the rye is one of my all time favorite books. i love the idea of being reminded of it daily.
I love this idea! I think it's better to not take things at Urban so seriously. I mean, I understand how "manufactured" it can feel in there, but come on, it's Urban! Have some fun, reminisce, be cheeky...
But it should be noted that there are people who genuinely love literature and a lot of people have truly enjoyed these books. If you love a book and seeing a poster that reminds you of it everyday would make you happy then who's to begrudge you that?
I think that there are plenty of people who would love to have these regardless of their hipster status.
