This is my version of Piet Schreuders' great reference book on paperback collecting. I recreated the cover using my own scans of the four paperback covers.

A homage to Piet Schreuders, this is my version of the back cover of his Book/Calendar "The Dell 'Mapbacks'"

Most of the lettering on Dell covers was the work of Bernie Salbreiter. His free style of handlettering is reminiscent of American advertising art of the 1920s and '30s, ranking with the best of the lettering of movie posters, book jackets and newspaper ads of the period.
It can especially be enjoyed on the spines of the early Dells.
