Wow, those are amazing! Such a wide variety of styles and each one is spot on for period book cover design.

I can really only find the smallest of quibbles on one of them: I wish the The Lighthouse book had been square

I like that he made the Matrix look extra cheap with the $0.99 sticker.

A fair few of these were books before they were films, and imagining them as books again seems weird.

But the covers are very well done. A lot them evoke nostalgia for me, memories of seeing fascinating looking books in libraries when I was a kid.

Yeah, these are awesome. Retro-cool vibe for each, and all of them unique.

Really, really cool.

And he does a big poster of all of them, nice!

Man, some really good design and an eye for what was keen historically in design circles.

"Wait… thats already a book… " But yes, they are all well done…
