I think the Bloomsbury ones are the least attractive. I love the AU ones, but find their logo really ruins the impact of the designs.

E.M. Delafield is a good case - some of them, like No One Now Will Know, are very difficult to find secondhand - whereas Thank Heaven Fasting is very easy to find. But same price ebook. Huh.<br /><br />I do like the patterns of The House of Books covers - they seem to have some effort put into them!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.com
