Classic Book Cover Posters
If it’s not enough for you to showcase your literary loves on your handbags, apparel and garden furniture, then where else better than the walls of your humble abode? We’re all about book cover posters today, iconic designs ideal for framing like this poster showing the classic cover of Brighton Rock by Graham Greene.
More into your Muriel Spark than Graham Greene? This poster showing the cover of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie will be right up your street.
Perhaps your tastes are slightly more scandalous? This poster of Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial classic Lolita, which was banned in several countries when it was first published, is pleasingly retro and slightly salacious.
More into gun-toting demons disguised as oversized pussycats than underage nymphets? Then here’s a poster of the cover of The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.
And last but not least, my personal favourite (you should all know by now what an unashamed Virginia Woolf fangirl I am),this poster showing the classic cover of Woolfy’s 1927 novel To The Lighthouse. And best of all, all the above beauties are only £9.95 each, from Amazon.

I’ve got the Master and Margarita one! I got it from Skoob Books in Russell Square, which is an awesome second-hand bookshop. They do lovely frames for them too.
Thanks for the tip-off, sounds grand! That kitty is a bit frightening though, I’d have it over my desk to stop me from procrastinating. Couldn’t have it in my bedroom for fear of Behemoth invading my dreams!
