The Friday Face-Off: White

 Friday Face Off New

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:
White

My first thought upon seeing this topic was to go for My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones, but then I realized it really only has one cover variant right now, so I decided that The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina would make a great pick for this as well, and it has quite a few great cover options to look at. Let's have a look. :)

My choice(s):
風之電話亭
I love a lot of these, but something about this Chinese edition just really seems to capture the feel of this book for me, and I think the US edition does it really well also. I also really love the Bulgarian and Polish editions!



What cover(s) do you like the most?

  1. The Bulgarian edition immediately caught my eye, maybe because it's so different from all the others😁
