You’ve no doubt heard the old adage, ‘Never judge a book by its cover’. I say knickers to that! There is nothing wrong with picking up a book because it’s beautiful. I’ve collated a selection of books that have beautiful covers and beautiful contents, so they make perfect gifts.

I’ve featured my top ten here but you can check out my Bookshop.org lists for more inspiration.

Disclosure: If you buy books linked to my blog, I may earn a commission from Bookshop.org, whose fees support independent bookshops.
