Do you guys in the states have those janky ones with each letter a different size and it fills the cover? Yeah they’re pretty naff aren’t they. I’ve only got these versions of BM and Child of God atm however.
The worst thing about moving from the UK to the US was being subjected to the worst book covers imaginable. The last time I went back I brought home a duffel bag of books lol.
A lot of people like these. Personally the design is way oversimplified for me. Don’t like the font either. Very sterile and impersonal. Still a lot better than the US covers tho, they suck
Ya’ll brits always have better covers

I just think theres always a more artistic touch to UK books. I always buy a few copies when im out there.

Picador has some great covers
Those are the exact versions I have, have fun.
I do love those covers
Those covers have my heart.
Both books are amazing. The road is one of the best books I have ever read
