These are Jillian Tamaki's embroidered book covers for Penguin USA. Take classic literature, add wonderful book illustrations, and add embroidery into the mix; that is just triple incredible. It's said on her site that they will be for sale on October 2011. What an heirloom these would make. I cherish the rich library my parents gave me, filled with books from their youth, and even some that used to belong to my grandfather. With Jillian Tamaki's covers these books would be even more of a treasure than they already are.
