A beautiful thing happened on Twitter: people came together for the bookish hashtag #80sABook. Some of the tweets were SO Totally ’80s Awesome that I started imagining the book covers which–combined with my inspiration from Rioter Eric’s book designing post–led to my Photoshop skills being put to good use. I don’t know about you but I would read the hell out of these.   My Sister's Trapper Keeper 80sABook         the golden girls on the train 80sabook     lord of the ringwald 80sabook     life of magnum PI 80sABook     push it real good 80sABook
