01 South Asian book cover, via Women, Snakes and StalkersThese South Asian book covers come from Quinn Dombrowski’s blog Women, Snakes and Stalkers. Quinn has been photographing covers from the PK (Indo-Iranian languages and literatures) section of the University of Chicago’s Regenstein library. She’s already photographed 1200!

Thanks to PK of BibliOdyssey for turning me on to these covers — this is what you are missing if you are not following him on twitter.

This is a dual post with Joel of Ephemera-Assemblyman. See his post here.

Update: Paul Hunt identified the books in my post as Bengali, except for one in Gujarati script and one in Devanagari script (noted below those covers). Thanks Paul!
