Good Book Catalogue is a catalogue of books deemed to be good.

The incomparable bell hooks once said “reading will lift you up out of the world that other people are apposing on you.” Reading elevates our spirits and eleviates our loneliness, with each book providing a new perspective on our diverse, perverse and fascinating world. Good Book Catalogue is above all an ode to the love of reading. It equally acts as one small step to repaying friends, strangers and serendipity alike for all of the book recommendations over the years.

    Good Book Catalogue is curated by Emma Hursey (she/they). Emma is a creative director and graphic designer based in Australia. She runs the design practice Doing Me Doing You, working internationally between the rural town of Rainbow Beach and Berlin, Germany.
    In 2017, Emma set a book target for the course of the year, sparking a yearly habit of reading her fair share of books. In 2020 Good Book Catalogue was born, to share the reads she enjoyed delving into. There are a handful of design books, a few fantasy and sci-fi tales, some classic fiction reads and a whole lot of non-fiction ranging in subject from history and sociology, to philosophy and physics.
