Pulp cover of Animal Farm by John Gall
The Slate asked to a handful of designers to create lurid new book jackets for classics from The Iliad to Animal Farm. Check the results here. Yes, you got me, I can’t resist to pulp book covers. As Slate says, “Classic pulp covers are glorious and garish, rich with saturated color and sexual innuendo“, and isn’t great? (via Drawn)

If only all book covers were like that!

:D I like the “normal” covers most of the time, but pulp books have so funny covers!
