19 Vintage Book Texture Elements

Just the other day I strolled into my favorite old book store and bought about a dozen vintage/ancient books to make textures out of. It took nearly a full day to scan all of them into the computer (totaling nearly 100 textures!). I tried to include a nice sample of every part of the books, including the covers, inside covers, pages, and bookends. I really enjoyed creating these and I hope you find some good uses for the textures!

Click on the textures below to download the high-res version or download them all in a zip file at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
