Philip Smith is one of the world’s most famous book binders, who has transformed book binding into an incredible form of art. And one of his favorite subjects is Lord of the Rings, whose covers he’s reimagined several times.
Here you can see a selection of his covers, including many versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy – one of which looks weirdly similar to the Necronomicon in Evil Dead.
