Love these redesigned book covers. They were created by 100 artists for DoeDeMee, a project dedicated to raising awareness of illiteracy. (For each poster version sold, a portion of the money is given to UNESCO projects in Africa.)

My favorite:

I might actually need this Northern Lights poster by Hamish Steele.

Check out the whole collection to find your favorite.

  These are beautiful! I’m decorating my house so I might buy one of these 35 Euros is really reasonable and they are so pretty. Actually, I think that the Lanark design is better than the original book cover.

    Great idea! And honestly, I think a lot of these redesigns are better than the originals.
