i respect the french for eschewing the concept of “illustration design” entirely and printing all their classics in those plain cream gallimard covers

i love them absolutely no patience for “advertising” or “appeal”. just shut the fuck up this is our literature of course you’re gonna read it
however i just noticed this it is extremely fucked up that they print spines such that if the book is face up the spine text is upside down. what’s up with that

We do this and it’s extremely annoying. We are not even consistent about it, some books have the correct text orientation and others don’t. In this photo there are 3 French books (Manuel de graphisme, Leçon de Photographie, Brassens), yet no consistency, it so bad!
