Goodness me, how on Earth did DJL miss these new, real Harry Potter designs from Bloomsbury? These so-called “Signature” editions were designed by linocut artist (and DJL is increasingly a massive fan of linocut prints) Clare Melinsky. Nostalgia for the originals notwithstanding, they’re quite lovely.

Gorgeous!!
