Which Cover?
I ran into a usb today to check and see if they had The Rainbow Promise by Lisa Gregory. They didn't. Since I don't make it to this usb often I ended up browsing around... yeah you are all shocked I know. The store is grand and she has old books. You should see how far back she goes on her Harlequin lines. It makes me squeee! They had a copy of Windflower by Laura London. As you may or may not recall I own this book already (found it at a library sale for a quarter) but I knew someone else was looking for it (taramarie maybe?). So for $1.50 I couldn't pass up buying a Hard to Find book. Now my problem is which one do I keep? Neither have the original cover, which honestly I am not fond of... So do I want the first reissue <------------- Or do I want the second reissue --------------> Personally I like the one on the right but there is just something about an old romance novel with the old style cover. If it wasn't for the fact I will have to pack up all these books soon (well and the money thing) I would have bought some old Dorothy Garlock books the other day just because they were in such great shape and had the cheesy old covers. I so can't make up my mind. Because really, the cover on the left is bad. |
Well, if it's any consolation, the chick doesn't look like her boobs could be floatation devices and the guy has a Sawyer-ish (from LOST) look ;)

My copy is the re-release and I like the cover...but I have to say, for an old-style bodice-ripper cover, the original isn't bad at all. :-D
Is that damning by faint praise? I really like the Jolly Roger over their heads!

Oh damn! Crappy blogger. I just had this long comment and it crapped out! Dang! Basically I said that I'd keep the one that's in the best condition. But as long as the book is older, I don't mind the cheesy covers. It's when books are released today that have those nasty covers that I get annoyed.
