But that title doesn't appeal to me.<br /><br />The U.S. title and size of fonts appeals to me.<br /><br />I find that with middle-aged eyesight I am very drawn to bigger, clearer fonts of titles and authors' names. That makes a difference to me.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-63863186443038063442010-08-04T14:55:43.398+01:002010-08-04T14:55:43.398+01:00I definitely prefer the UK cover.I definitely prefer the UK cover.Lori Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818111640670098850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-48568011780867137152010-08-04T11:41:57.195+01:002010-08-04T11:41:57.195+01:00If I had to choose, I like the cover of the UK ver...If I had to choose, I like the cover of the UK version better (the one with the man in toga, etc), it is a better photograph and looks more classy, a bit more than your standard "generic murder" cover - but I prefer the US title "Persona non grata". Whether the author is Ruth or R. S. does not matter to me, but J K Rowling supposedly had to use initials rather than Joanne because boys would not want to read a book by a woman (apparently!) so this may be a factor at play here?<br /><br />Frankly I probably wouldn't read either version because I don't usually read ancient history novels- and having read too many of the series by Linsday Davies I think I've had enough of Roman crime fiction until something really stunning comes along.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-60124289529053980562010-08-04T10:38:03.292+01:002010-08-04T10:38:03.292+01:00Definitely prefer the one on the right...it sort o...Definitely prefer the one on the right...it sort of screams ROMEish type things while the other one just whispers very quietlyBernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
