About

Recovering the Classics is a crowdsourced collection of original covers for great works in the public domain where anyone can contribute.

Every great book deserves a great cover. Sadly, many of the greatest classics in the public domain are left with poorly designed or autogenerated covers that fail to capture what makes these books exciting and inspiring to us. So, we invited illustrators, typographers, and designers of all stripes to create new covers for over 150 of the greatest works of fiction in the public domain. Together, we can help to keep these classics fresh, modern, and accessible to new generations of readers.
