Ten iconic images of New York City taken from book jackets of the 1920’s and ‘30’s include a hansom cab driver toasting the cityscape, scenes of café society, the El, checker cabs, bellhops, tenements, pushcarts, doormen, and kids playing in the spray from a fire hydrant. The saturated colors, distinctive typefaces, and sophisticated illustrations vividly recall the Jazz Age and Art Deco era.

“If you’re a fan of vintage book jackets from the Art Deco or Jazz Age eras, you’ll want to get your hands on The Little Bookroom’s Bandit Love and East Side, West Side, two new note card collections compiled by Steven Heller. Bandit Love features old romance book jackets, and East Side, West Side highlights book covers that paid homage to New York City.
    Each collection is comprised of 20 note cards that come in a beautiful keepsake box designed by Louise Fili, Heller’s wife and frequent collaborator.”— HOW magazine
