Bibliomaniker
Martin Klasch turned me on to the Swedish blog Book Cover Lover a couple months ago. Started in May, there are already 224 posts to scroll through, the majority of them focusing on Swedish mid-century book covers and bindings from the blogger's own collection.
You may recognize designers like Per Åhlin and Rolf Lagerson from my previous posts Cocktaildags and Lord of the Flugornas. Unfortunately the binding designers are unknown, as publishers rarely print credits for the binding.
