So %14 for a paperback without shipping charges, even for those of us across the pond, is not bad at all. It would cost me more to buy it here at a bookstore.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-33474514296211882222010-06-24T07:24:05.652+01:002010-06-24T07:24:05.652+01:00I agree about liking the U.S. cover a bit better b...I agree about liking the U.S. cover a bit better because of the turquoise color and I like big, clear fonts (probably aging issues) and clean lines.<br /><br />However, I think both could have been better.<br /><br />Usually, I like the UK versions but this one is disappointing.<br /><br />Neither would get me to buy the book, but good reviews would.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-3811379918324105062010-06-23T21:38:03.101+01:002010-06-23T21:38:03.101+01:00I'm not that keen on either (I have a proof co...I'm not that keen on either (I have a proof copy and it is just plain red - better I think!). Interesting that they use similar fonts for the text even though the covers are so different. I do like that colour blue so I am going to go for the US cover, but I think that both of them could be so much better, and more reflective of the book and as Donna points out, the urban nature of the book.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-25442533582216537892010-06-23T18:04:25.439+01:002010-06-23T18:04:25.439+01:00I have the UK cover on my desk waiting tbr.
