Yellow Cover
I found quite a few yellow covers while looking through my 'Read' shelf on Goodreads, but most of them only had one or two cover variations. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson (which I read years ago and honestly don't remember much about at all) and it has a very bright yellow (and green) cover that I think is a perfect fit for this theme. Let's have a look at some of the other cover variations that exist for this book!
2012 US Hardcover | 2012 US Paperback | 2014 Czech
2013 US Paperback | 2014 Turkish | 2013 Danish
2019 Romanian | 2013 French | 2017 Japanese
2013 Italian | 2012 Australian | 2018 German
My choice(s):
It's hard to pick since these are all so different, but I do think I'm a bit partial to the original US hardcover edition that I read. I love the US paperback edition as well and I really like the blues from the Romanian edition!
What cover(s) do you like the most?
Wow, this book has a ton of covers, and all are really nice! I do love the bright yellow of the US hardcover, and also the Czech cover stands out😁
ReplyDeleteThey are quite different, but I like the consistent bold typography!
ReplyDeleteI like yellow and green covers. One and three might be my faves.
