This a sequel to my February post of South Asian book covers 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 hopes to photograph all of them.

I think most of these are Bengali.

Also see Joel’s favorites at Ephemera-Assemblyman.
