Even though the internet is primarily focused on knowledge, connecting people, and providing services, a very nice and, to be honest, necessary function of the internet is to give people things to laugh about.
In the sea of comedy that anyone can find on the various social media, there’s also Paperback Paradise, a page dedicated to photoshopping vintage paperback book covers with funny, weird, and absurd titles, subtitles and marketing blurbs that were oh so popular on books back in the day.
We got in touch with Domi, the artist behind the self proclaimed “world’s #1 used book store” that is Paperback Paradise, for an interview about the crazy funny book covers that he has been doing for years.
Bored Panda invites you to check out some of his best work, alongside the original book covers, in the curated list below. And while you’re at it, vote and comment on the ones you enjoyed the most!

As mentioned, Paperback Paradise is a page with a presence on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and with its own dedicated website, it’s the self-proclaimed “world’s #1 used book store” that invites people to visit it at “the edge of eternity.”
The page seems to have the most followers on Twitter, where over 205,000 people get a kick from the various paperback book covers that Domi, the genius behind the page, has photoshopped over the years.

The idea was inspired by a photoshop contest of a book that Domi was a part of:
“I saw a photoshop contest for a Choose Your Own Adventure cover on a forum I semi-frequented in the early aughts and thought ‘I could probably do that.’ I didn’t try it until years later with this account, but have had a lot of fun doing it.”
