Remember those used paper grocery bag textbook covers your mom used to make? On my Sunday antique-browsing and food cart-dining visit to the Brooklyn Flea in DUMBO, I stumbled upon Book City Jackets, who are putting out some really interesting merchandise. By the end of the first week of school, my book covers were invariably covered in rudimentary doodles pertaining to the Milwaukee Brewers and my teacher’s physical abnormalities, but Book City’s are a bit more refined. They commissioned a range of artists like Brooklyn’s Morgan Blair and Eveline Tarunadjaja from Melbourne to create original illustrations. The covers come 3 to a set and fit most book trim sizes, but they’re so darn pretty you may want to frame them, rather than let them collect dust on your bookshelf.
