Outline of two closed hardcover books overlapping and standing upright
About the Two Overlapping Books black outline icon
Two closed hardcover books stand upright and overlap, the front volume covering most of the one behind it so only its top edge and a sliver of cover show. Each has a clearly drawn spine and cover board, signaling reading, study, knowledge, courses and reference material. Good for e-learning platforms, library catalogs, bookstore listings, course cards and school presentations.
The offset between the two covers creates depth without any shading, and the curved spine notch at the lower left keeps the books from looking like plain rectangles. Proportions follow a real book's portrait ratio, so it sits comfortably next to notebook, graduation cap, pencil and bookmark icons. Keep at least 24 px so the gap between the two covers does not fill in.
This is the black outline version of the two overlapping books icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
