you mean like this >>6938211 ?

Yeah, then you'd have to special order a replacement match and that would just be the worst. Can you imagine the shipping cost of a replacement match? They're probably only specially made in some obscure corner of the world in a monastery filled with blind monks of an ancient and secret religious order.

Distinctive yes, but not attractive in my opinion. They remind me of magic eye puzzles or the pictures of geometric shapes which would hang from the walls of math rooms growing up.

I do love the Rabbit series, though. First time seeing it mentioned on here.

Wordsworth make their covers so poorly because the classics that they make are for, as they state in the beginning of each book for students and are made poorly on purpose so they can just churn out more copies cheaply for students. The covers just come with the cheapness.

the yellowish version is better, the design of this one is awkward with the wider margin on the right side of the picasso and the empty space on the top right that has the publishers logo. actually the design is hideous tbh, looks like it was done in about 0.1000 hours on paint
