#12Not quite as beautiful, but there are some other curated collections at openlibrary (which shares the book access back-end with archive.org, but also has pages for not yet scanned items) e.g. Choose Your Own Adventure books:

#15Nice site! Very clean/fast UI with a novel conceptualization, bookmarking it as I write this.
Apple's own Books app was a famous example of moving the physical bookshelf to the screen. Strangely enough I can only find a handful of screenshots of it: http://thatkeith.com/articles/digital-skeuomorphism/

The design was probably inspired by the Letterform Archive's relatively new site

Technically the screenshot you’ve linked to is the iOS 5 newsstand: https://www.cnet.com/culture/how-to-get-started-with-ios-5s-...
But yes, iBooks did start with the same design: https://www.redmondpie.com/ibooks-3.0-all-set-to-be-announce...

#18Not graphic design but art-related, here are two recommendations of mine:
If you like Kandinsky I can recommend "On the spiritual in Art", which he wrote himself. It's mostly text, although there are some images. The thing is, given how many artists out there try to be as obfuscated as possible to keep their works open to interpretation, I really appreciate how he explains his reasoning, and it adds to the appreciation of his work.
The other thing I find fun to read through (although sadly one can only digitally borrow it - luckily I have an actual print edition at home) is Hendrik Willem van Loon's "The Arts", which is a world history of art as summarized by one well-meaning historian in 1937. It's interesting to see what holds up, where he's clearly out of his depth (or just outdated), and what one might consider to have been "lost" in all the post-modern faffing of the last century.
