In the spirit of Awful Library Books, the bloggers at Judge a Book By Its Cover gleefully mine a rich vein of unintentionally hilarious book covers from the stacks of their public library and add their own clever commentary. From well meaning but dated self-help to vintage celebrity profiles, their selections reflect the site's maxim: De gustibus non est disputandum – There's no accounting for taste.

The site brings together the most "hilarious, disgusting, heartwarming, alarming, shocking and ridiculous things" taking place every day in the library. There's plenty of humor but much more. A blog by librarians for librarians – enjoy!
