Chic Literature Jackets....by Neapolotian

Have you seen work by Neapolotian yet? It's pretty darn cool! You see, they re-cover vintage books by replacing the old original jacket with a hand-calligraphed, chic looking paper jacket. 

I can't tell you how much I adore this idea. If you saw this book on a coffee table you'd probably be sort of puzzled by the fact that you'd recognize the title but didn't recall it ever being in that jacket!! It's so unexpected....but adorable. I am looking to get 1 in the python printed paper, or maybe even 2, that's how neat these are. 

You can check out the rest of the items in their shop here.
