You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover #271

- 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
Canadian cover
Oh, I'm a big Peter Robinson fan! The latest Inspector Banks, Many Rivers to Cross ( #26) releases in early fall. And it's on my must read list. The US cover is on the left and the Canadian cover is on the right. Well, if we take the title literally, you might be looking for a river on the cover. Instead, we have a lake or sea and a pathway in a garden/sidewalk. Having read the synopsis of the book, I can see why the image on the Canadian cover suits. The US cover is clean and more sedate. Yellow title font and white for the author on both cover with size being the difference. I'm kinda 'meh' on both this week, but if pressed I will go with the Canadian cover this week. I find the image more interesting. What about you? Which cover do you prefer? 
Any plans to read Many Rivers to Cross?
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 either. The body of water on the US cover could be a big, wide river.

Love the US cover! But oddly it has an endorsement from the Daily Mail. Think that will be changed once before it goes to final printing :-)

Oops.....Mail on Sunday

Well, US this week. But I missed that Mail on Sunday endorsement. Went back to check I had it right and it was.....will watch to see if a new version pops up.....
