"Folious Appearances" is a 1854 work by John Tupling that explores the way in which books are presented, looking in particular at the lettering and typography of personalised book covers. When thinking about customising or re-covering books, the author believes that considerations should be given to what the book is and who wrote it, and that it should be lettered accordingly. To that end, tips and suggestions are given in this book so that significant works of literature are appropriately adorned to signify their importance and worth. Contents include: "Most Admired Disorder", "All The Damned", "In Argosy From Fez", "A Joy for Ever", "Imaginations Calm and Fair", "Topmost Gargarus", "Royally Manned", "A God of the Island", "Hamlet", "The Thousand Wars of Old", "Darkness Visible", "Double Castle", "Marry How? Tropically", "The Two Noble Kinsmen", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
