Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a weekly meme at Books by Proxy. Join us every Friday as we pit cover against cover, and publisher against publisher, to find the best artwork in our literary universe. You can find a list of upcoming topics at Lynn's Books.
This week's topic is:
Alien Encounter
Alien Encounter
I couldn't find any books with aliens on the cover, so I opted for a book about aliens/with aliens in the title: Aliens: The World's Leading Scientists on the search for Extraterrestrials edited by Jim Al-Khalili. There are only a handful of editions, but I still enjoyed looking through all of them.

I picked two for different reasons. I think the US hardcover fits the content the best and invokes an air of intrigue, but the aesthetically I think the Russian cover is beautiful!
What cover(s) do you like the most!?
The two US covers are really cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the Russian cover! Its quite different from the others, maybe thats why I like it😁
