/lit/ - Literature

>best book cover
>magazine review

I'm partial to 70s design with books.

I've never read that book.
Is the novel as good as the film?

I love this cover so much

Imo reading Scots dialect is dreadful so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You might not mind it though.

The Swedish translations of Harry Potter had some nice covers.

IT'S HAPPENING

Taking this chance.

I don't come to /lit/ a lot, but, I need to ask.

How much Book Covers matters today?

I mean, they're the chance of a book to get some attention, since not everyone read book reviews, but can spot a interesting cover and end up buying it.


I'll dump the seven Swedish covers while I'm at it.

Quirky and kind of sad. Actual book was really funny too, though.

book covers still matter, maybe more than before w/ the prevalence of e-readers, there's a lot more of an incentive to buy a physical book if it'll look good on your shelf

I kinda think the same, but I seemed silly when I look at it.

It's a book. You are buying it for the content inside it, not the way it looks.

I feel guilty when I'm moved to buy a book cause of its cover.

>>3480854
It's no different than an album or DVD cover.
And the cover is relevant to its contents, it represents the publisher and how they've chosen to market it. You can tell a lot about a book by its cover if you know how to read it.

I agree to OP's picture. Decided to read trainspotting partially because of the cover.

>dem massive hands

Thanks for all the replies.

Le loup est fache

my favourite in the thread so far.
Although the little people made me laugh.

I rather like the new covers of Albert Camus' books the outsider and the plague

>>3480910

Pretty sure this isn't a real cover, but since there's Potter afoot.

>>3480910
Damn Harry looks hard as hell here.

>>3480767
i grew up on the Broons and Oor Wullie so i might take a look.

>>3480861
Holy shit.

I don't really care for ASOIAF but as long as we're posting non us covers

>>3481155
whoops, told you i didn't like those books
great cover though

This thread is hilarious. All of these covers are terrible.

I don't know what edition this is for (or even if it's actually real). The penguin classic cover is also nice, but the quality of the paper is terrible.

>another aesthetics thread instead of actually discussing literature

i hate you all.

>>3481155
They may be a lot of pages, but the ASOIAF books read so easily that the fly by.
I don't think I've ever read a 1000 pages of anything so quickly. It would probably take me at least 2-3 times as long to read those other books.

The only good archaeology of knowledge cover

Fo' real. All the latest publications of his works just have random stock images on them like a ruler or an apple or some shit. Bugs me.

>>3480870

>>3480870

>>3480927

It is, though she's not a guy. She's also the author of the Mumin books.

I love this one.

>strategy games and related games for autists (I admit that Stonesoup and DF are good, though)
>masterpieces
>fails to mention a single game with a good narrative

I know that it's bad parody, but man, you just have shit taste in games if those are your top masterpieces.

yes plz. I wish someone would republish this

>>3481124
I think the insert's the best part of that, it'd jarr so badly
