The Cover Wars: Poison Study


Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I decided to get together to do a weekly meme where we would compare covers of the UK editions of books with those of the US editions.
The aim of this is to just have a bit of fun. We put ourselves in the position where we see both of these books side by side in the bookstore. Which would we choose? Why that one and not the other?

This week, we will be comparing the UK and US covers of Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder.

The First book is the US version and the Second one is the UK
version.


Tara says: Easy choice for me. The US one looks like it’s an old book and I really don’t like it for some reason. The UK one is the one I love it has everything it needs to show me what the book will involve. I think UK wins J


Rea says: I have a different version of Poison Study, which is no longer available, and that one is actually my favourite! However, of the two here, I’m not really fond of the US cover. It doesn’t stand out so much. The beautiful purple colour of the UK cover stands out among all the other fantasy covers on the shelves. Even if it’s not as pretty as my old UK cover, it’s still UK for me.

Score: 

Week 33:      US: 5    UK: 20   Draw: 8

  1. I like the US version better. I don't like the fonts and colours on the UK version.
