No shame here—the staff of Vita Daily is composed of a bunch of bookworms. So, when a beautiful copy of Bibliophile by acclaimed illustrator and book superfan Jane Mount landed on our desk, we couldn’t wait to dive right into its colourful pages.
You may know Mount best for her paintings of people’s favourite books (and more than 15,000 book spines); her work, after all, has appeared in The New Yorker, O Magazine and Vogue. Now, her very own book offers a compendium of her stunning works, alongside reading recommendations, odes to libraries, author profiles and shout-outs to the world’s most-loved books from every genre imaginable. Also, many Canadian inclusions (a special illustration of B.C.’s Surrey City Centre Library and a review of Munro’s Books in Victoria) and a section on bookstore cats—Canada’s very own Nietzsche (from The Book Man in Chilliwack) is the very first feline featured!
With its lavish cloth hardcover, Bibliophile is as much a collectible piece of art as it is bookish heaven, with details and tidbits that will delight hardcore literary enthusiasts and casual readers alike. Find out how you could win your very own copy, below! —Noa Nichol
