Do you like vintage book covers or are you looking for some public domain artwork to use for your book cover?

The British Library has more than one million copyright-free images on Flickr up for grabs. Digital Arts Online has the scoop:

The British Library’s collection of images on Flickr are taken from books it has its collection from the 17th, 18th and 19th Century – so well out of copyright – and are vaguely arranged by theme: such as book coverscyclingillustrated letteringcomic artships or children’s book illustration. There’s also a collection of ‘Highlights‘ that’s a good place to start if you just want a general browse.
