Classic books present a particular challenge. Their stories are familiar, their imagery often well established, and readers frequently arrive with expectations shaped by earlier editions. These designs look for a simple, contemporary way to express the tone of each work, balancing respect for its history with the needs of a modern shelf. The intention is not to reinvent or lean on what’s gone before, but to create covers that feel natural — as if the book has always looked this way.
