I'm kind of torn about this cover. Part of me likes it and part of me thinks it sucks. I think the big lettering and especially the stupid fucking quote make it seem too much like an advertisement

>> No.5621084

>>5621059
i agree, w/o the quote and "author of The Road" it would be a bit more appealing...
but damn, the colors and typeface on this thing are so well done, like how the B almost blends into the orangeyellow and the 3 colored sections and the grass and how the horizon splits between the title and wow

that wrinkle in time cover is way cooler than the one I grew up reading

I really like pic related. I also really like the paperback cover of A Visit From the Goon Squad and all of these Nabokov covers: http://bookcoverarchive.com/Vladimir_Nabokov

Can't post cause I'm on my phone but I really like the first edition of The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. It's pretty much the only book I went out of my way to buy.

It is Random House's third printing of Hopscotch by Julio Cortázar, and I am the first person to have checked it out of the library it is from in thirteen years, so it's almost good as new. It's the only library book I've ever contemplated stealing.

Same. I have a better set now, a thick board with grooves, slate and clamshell stones and bowls that aren't from the kitchen.

I posted Leonora Carrington in another thread, but this IS one of my covers, so here she is again.
