You are designing something and there is a flash in your mind: an idea. You're thinking how good the texture of the yellowing paper of the books from the old bookstores, or the image of some hard covers, or introduce front and back cover as the background of your work. How good it would be ...
And then you think for a second about looking for a book that convinces you (which is not easy), scan it, prepare the photograph in Photoshop and, finally, introduce it into your design. Maybe you will at some point, but… Wouldn't it be great to have a extensive digitized catalog? Welcome to paradise - keep reading this post and get hundreds of vintage book images. You will love them!
5 Packs of vintage books images
Perhaps this is what happened to the author of the images. One fine day he decided to scan all those books and documents that caught your attention: by texture, color, shape, memories… And what a good idea! It was done in this way with a much more extensive catalog than we would have been willing to photograph ourselves. Possibly more extensive than we actually need. But it is good to know the source, and that we have a place to go when we need it. No?
At the moment, the links work. We cannot guarantee that they will always work, since the files are not hosted on Creativos Online. So I recommend that, if you are interested in this material, you download it while it is available.
