A book’s cover is the first thing a reader sees and it can make a lasting impression, good or bad, that never really goes away. Even though teachers, parents, and even librarians have taught us to not judge books by their covers, the library staff decided to actively break that rule and highlight some books with particularly winsome covers.
These books were pulled from the Hilla Rebay Library, located within the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Library Special Collections, based solely on their eye-catching covers. Three of them have been digitized and are available on Internet Archive as part of Art Resources from the Mid-20th Century, a METRO-funded collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art.
