When I was making my Recommended Books, Blogs, and Music video a few weeks ago, I had the idea to recommend a set of books not based on their content but on their spine and cover designs and how they would look on a shelf together – an idea which I’ve termed Visual Playlists of Books. Just like music playlists are made up of different songs that go well together or tell a complete story, I tried to organize these books by color, size, and length, though of course I was limited by the books I already own.
As always, click any of the photos to see a larger version. I’ve put together a few different sets, but I’d love to see what else you guys can come up with using your own personal libraries! Feel free to send me photos of your own Visual Playlists on my Twitter or Tumblr, and thanks so much for reading!
