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

Harlan Coben has a new book - The Boy From the Woods -
coming out on both sides of the pond in March 2020 on both sides of the pond. I've added it to my ever growing TBR list. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. The US cover has quite a striking color scheme. I like those bright, bold greens and blues. The white typeface stands out really well. The trees themselves are not real, but are instead origami replicas. On the other hand the UK does give us real trees. Pretty ominous ones - they look dead and really dark. The path leading in is quite ominous. White typeface is used for the title, but isn't as 'stand-out' against this background. The author's name is a stronger look. An easy chose for me this week - the US cover. It caught my attention right away. What about you? Which cover do you prefer?
Any plans to read The Boy From the Woods?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.
Yes, I like the US cover as well. Somehow, the yellow type of the author's name is not pleasing to my eye. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAgreed; the US cover with those blue trees is unresistable.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The US cover is the clear winner here!
ReplyDeleteI’m alone with my preference for the UK cover
ReplyDeleteWell, a 4 to 1 win this week for the US cover!
ReplyDeleteUS cover - I just discovered his books about a month ago and read two so far and liked both of them. Will look for this one when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteAnd Donna bumps that up to 5 to 1 for the US cover!
