You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover #258

- You can't judge a book by its cover - which is very true. 
 But you can like one cover version better than another....

US cover
UK cover
Woo hoo! Linwood Barclay is one of my favourite suspense authors. His new book Elevator Pitch releases in Sept. 19 on both sides of the pond. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. Elevator Pitch: " a succinct and persuasive sales pitch." Hmm, can't wait to see what the pitch might be. So two different views of elevators. The US is of the elevator shaft. I think we're at the bottom looking up at the car descending, but it's hard to say. Still, gives me a bit of vertigo. The UK cover is of an elevator that has an exterior view. Easier on the eyes. And a little more info as there is what appears to be a woman in the car. The same tagline appears on both. For me the US cover promises more action and the UK more suspense. I'm going to go with the UK cover this week, if only because I can't look at the US cover without feeling woozy! What about you? Which cover do you prefer? Any plans to read Elevator Pitch?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.

I'm not crazy about either cover but think I prefer the US one.

I’m with you, Luanne. The US cover makes me dizzy. Much prefer the clearer UK cover.

I definitely like the UK cover better too. I wonder if the story will be more action based or suspenseful.

The UK one for me. The US one for me is jarring.

Well that's a majority for the UK cover this week!
