Heading back to school? Do it in style, but don't let your love of books go unnoticed this school year. Show off your love for all things literature with a cool literary T-shirt. What better way to tell the world that you're a well-read genius than by wearing your favorite book-inspired t-shirt? Forget regular graphic tee's. Literary shirts are most certainly the way to go.
