I just realized I ...Thanks for stopping by Shanra.<br /><br />I just realized I didn't even take into account the hardcover vs. paperback issue. Now, there's one that drives me nuts. I find that I tend to have to have one or the other for a series, and when I've bought the wrong one it drives me nuts.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961035078725474747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181364634779383173.post-61446746296509421472009-09-27T01:32:32.000-07:002009-09-27T01:32:32.000-07:00I don't think that last sentence needs a quest...I don't think that last sentence needs a question mark. ^-~ It's a sneaky way to make money even if it's not intended to be.<br /><br />So far I'm managing not to be driven batty by my MMP of an omnibus of the Chrestomanci series that doesn't fit with all the trade paperbacks, but that may well be because I don't like the stories in it terribly much. *sigh* <br /><br />I remember a day when book covers didn't matter in the slightest... I was young and could still borrow translations from the library. Now everything I want to read is only available in bookstores. Don't even get translations, even if I did like reading them...Shanrahttp://libritouches.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181364634779383173.post-28207956476606965782009-09-26T15:51:04.358-07:002009-09-26T15:51:04.358-07:00And that's usually how they do it I find.

(Rather, I only mind it when the volumes aren't the same size or I really, really, <i>really</i> love a cover. I can't put them in order on the shelf if they're not the same size!) Drives me batty.<br /><br />Beyond that... I'll deal. (And yes, movie covers are evil!

Generally with those books though, the original cover is still available at the same time though. I agree about choosing the original though. Still, I have seen a few examples where the movie covers are better than the original, but I can't think of any examples right now.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961035078725474747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181364634779383173.post-25610191559047608822009-09-25T03:14:02.131-07:002009-09-25T03:14:02.131-07:00I hate when they reissue books with new covers!

Or when they reissue books with movie covers, if I can avoid it, I'll always choose the non-movie cover, as the non-movie cover to me seems to have some sort of lasting power.<br /><br />Great post, definitely food for thought!April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.com
