... Read moreSprayed edges refer to the colored or decorated edges of book pages, often enhancing the overall visual appeal of the book as a collectible or gift. This feature can elevate a book's design by adding a distinctive touch that stands out on any bookshelf. For readers and collectors, sprayed edges are much more than just decoration; they symbolize a certain dedication to the book’s presentation and can make editions feel more special or limited. The mention of Victoria Aveyard's bestselling novel with sprayed edges points to how publishers sometimes use this feature for popular titles to attract fans and collectors. BookTok, a vibrant community on social media platforms like TikTok, celebrates books in creative ways, often focusing on visual aesthetics. Hashtags like #booktok and #bookmas reveal how fans participate in yearly book gift exchanges and holiday-themed content, where beautifully designed books, including those with sprayed edges, are highly coveted. While sprayed edges may not justify repurchasing a book for all readers, they undoubtedly increase a novel’s collectible value and aesthetic charm. Many BookTok users find joy in sharing these details, emphasizing how small design elements enhance their reading and collecting experience. Whether you’re a passionate reader or a nostalgic collector, sprayed edges offer a subtle yet impactful way to appreciate your favorite novels anew.

DIY Painting book edges
I absolutely love doing this with all the books I know I’ll love or have already read once before! You have to do this ahead of time if you plan on tabbing or annotating your books though, otherwise you’ll be removing and wasting tabs to do it, but I think the end result is so worth it, especially

Sprayed edges or under-cover art? What’s better??
I personally think sprayed edges are a bit over-saturated in the market right now but I LOVE under dust-jacket art!! I think it’s so beautiful and gives such insight into the book without being overwhelming and it just feels so thoughtful!! Sometimes sprayed edges can feel like an afterthought
