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

A new Michael Connelly book is on the way! The Law of
Innocence releases in November. It's the seventh book in the Lincoln Lawyer series. And it's most definitely on my must read list. The US cover is on the left and the Australian cover is on the right. Okay...there's a dirty, gritty looking underpass on the US cover. Looking closer the dark items on the left hand side are a shopping cart and one or two homeless individuals. The light is blinding coming in the other end. The cover does indeed have to do with driving. The Australian cover gives us a night view - this time of a lit up city. It looks prosperous compared to the US cover. But the best part? Yeah, it's that black, '80's-vintage Cartier edition Lincoln Town Car that stands out. I love the idea of a mobile office. And I can only imagine cruising around in this beauty. Okay, so guess which cover I like? Uh huh, the Australian cover for me this week. What about you?
Any plans to read The Law of Innocence? Which cover do you prefer?

Wow, 7 books? I think the US wins for me this week. Something about the Australian cover looks too photoshopped.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Aussie cover for me. Love the hot Lincoln! Plus the city at night draws the eye & the author’s name in yellow really stands out.
ReplyDeleteThe US cover is very unappealing.
Hmm, I can see what you mean about the photoshopping when I look again Ethan.....
ReplyDeleteBut that doesn't deter myself or Icewineanne! So far an Aussie victory...
You’re so right, it definitely doesn’t deter me.....heh heh. A great cover is a great cover no matter how it was designed.
ReplyDeleteCheers & happy reading!
