NYRB Classics

This dataset contains 667 book covers from the New York Review Books Classics series. Each example includes the title, authors, an image of the book cover, and the URL from where this information was obtained.

These were taken from https://www.nyrb.com/collections/classics and https://www.nyrb.com/collections/forthcoming on the 29th of May, 2026. I then manually removed any books which were scraped but did not have a typical NYRB Classics cover. See the "Ignore List" section below for the list of books that were removed.

The "authors" field is a list of authors. Generally, the first in this list is the actual author of the book and the rest are editors, translators, writers of introductions/forewords/afterwords, etc. This is not always the case, e.g. in Shadows of Carcosa the only listed author is the editor. Some of authors are in the metadata, but do not appear on the cover, e.g. Butterfly of Dinard only shows the author and the introduction writer on the cover, but the metadata also includes the translators. Sometimes the cover only shows the title, but the metadata includes the authors, e.g. Sclump.

Ignore List

These were the books that were scraped but did not have a typical NYRB Classics cover, and so were removed from the dataset:
