“Oh say can you see… this incredibly cool American flag we made out of book covers? Here at Bookish, we love a good cover design. So with the Fourth of July holiday weekend looming, we

decided to get crafty and patriotic. What better way to celebrate the Fourth than making an American flag out of some of our favorite red, white, and blue books? There are 105 blue covers, 199 red

covers, and 177 white covers. That’s a total of 481 books (by 421 different authors)!”

(quote from Bookish website, 2015)

You can find the list of all 481 books on their website page:
