Rennie Mackintosh

I discovered I had a book with the cover designed by Rennie Mackintosh. I wonder how many other RM covers there are out there.

There's something wrong with your link. Let's try: http://www.librarything.com/work/15310/book/23546606

How did you find out it was by Mackintosh?

Thanks for giving the right link!

I was at the Lighthouse in Glasgow, where they have a large exhibit of RM things. My young daughter noticed that there was a book in a book exhibit with the same cover as one of ours. Then I went on the web to confirm that this cover was indeed one of the covers commissioned by Blackie and Sons from RM.

He produced so many beautiful covers!

could you share your website for the Blackie covers? I'd looked for an authorative source before, since there were many artists designing in the 'house' style, it can be difficult telling them apart.

This is the best site I know of:

It's part of a student project at the University of Glasgow. There's a section devoted to Blackie.
