I may have linked to
Violet Books before, but they certainly deserve a second look, especially
this gallery of "Rare Dustwrappers and Decorative Bindings." These scans make excellent wallpaper and backdrops for dreary office monitors.
Violet specializes in "Antiquarian Supernatural Literature, including literary ghost stories, Victorian science fiction, Yellow Nineties Decadence, H. Rider Haggard & haggardesque "Lost Race" novels, Marie Corelli & other occult romancers, Rafael Sabatini & Jeffery Farnol & all vintage swashbuckling historical romances, westerns, Yukon adventures, jungle tales, Sax Rohmer & all weird thrillers, classic detectives, vintage children's & young adult fantasies & series books, & all things old, fictional, adventurous, & weird." Whew. Tell 'em the Professor sent you.
