the bibliofiles: book art photography by thomas allen

I am so taken by these photographs by Thomas Allen. He constructs dioramas from pulp novels and photographs them in the most pleasing ways. I've always had a sweet spot for pulp fiction and find myself buying old books with enticing covers, simply because they artwork is irresistible.

I highly recommend watching the video short he created, entitled Paper Cuts, it features an amazing array of his work.
