Weekly Geeks- February 7, 2009

Judge a Book By Its Cover!This week it's all about judging books by their covers! Pick a book--any book, really--and search out multiple book cover images for that book. They could span a decade or two (or more)...Or they could span several countries. Which cover is your favorite? Which one is your least favorite? Which one best 'captures' what the book is about?


I llooked for Confessions of a Shopahloic by Sophie Kinsella. I like the covers that have bags on them. It shows what the book is about! The ones that show the side of a dress, or of girls' legs I don't like because it really doesn't show what the book is about.


Here are two for the US edition







This is the movie-tie in edition







This is the UK edition (notice the different name)




Here are some from Library Thing, but I'm not sure where they came from






Here are some more Library Thing has from Amazon.com but I am not sure where they all came from

    I, too, like the first cover best. The one titled "I Love Shopping" is the Italian version!

    I like the eleventh cover.. the damask pink one.. with the black silhouette floral print over it. :)

    I like the third one in the first block from Library Thing. While I'm not usually into pink, it really works here and I like the crispness of the image.

    Hmm, I can see that I really do judge books on their cover because I can´t see myself buying a pink book ;)
    I would probably enjoy her books if I tried one of them, but don´t try to sell pink to me.

    Most of them seems very similar. I haven't read it but it seems to capture the book I assume.
