Ever looked through your parents old school text books and laughed at the arcane covers that graced many of the tomes? Well now you can do that all day long with Book Worship, the blog dedicated to 50s, 60s, and 70s book covers.

Similar to mocking cheesy movies, Book Worship picks out the geekiest and the nerdiest of retro books and displays them for the Interwebs. Check out the gallery for a full tasting of what this blog has to offer.

Best in Show award to the book on hypnosis. That’s what I call a cover!
