Sprayed Edges ✨

... Read moreSprayed edges, or colored page edges, are a trendy feature among book lovers and collectors. Not only do they elevate the aesthetic of any book, but they can also create a unique reading experience. Sprayed edges first gained popularity for hardcovers due to their eye-catching appearance and ability to make books stand out on shelves. These artistic touches can reflect the theme or mood of the book itself. While the aesthetics of sprayed edges play a significant role, they also serve practical purposes. When beautifully designed, they can protect the pages and prevent wear and tear, ensuring the longevity of precious books. Fans often use hashtags like #SprayedEdges and #PrettyBooks on social media to showcase their favorite editions. Moreover, sprayed edges have become significant within the bookish community, especially on platforms like Instagram, where aesthetics matter. The trend of posting 'shelfies' (shelf selfies) featuring these unique details helps promote books that catch the eye, encouraging readers to dive deeper into the stories they represent. To enjoy this experience fully, consider exploring special editions from publishers that offer stunning sprayed edges. As you collect these books, remember to engage with the community and perhaps guess the stories behind some of your favorite sprayed edges! For those interested, there is often a hidden meaning or special design behind the colors selected for the sprayed edges, making them even more fascinating for avid readers and collectors alike.

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
