I will say, though, that I think they did an OK job with the yellow banner and "Crime" bar treatment at the top. That's at least a reasonable design nod to the past.T.

I've seen some truly horrendous video-game-esque covers on reprints of fantasy novels lately (*cough* the new covers for The Dark is Rising *cough*)and it gives me the shivers.Cassie @ KnowsProsehttp://knowsprose.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-68331162999515530612012-12-21T17:43:48.707-08:002012-12-21T17:43:48.707-08:00Jane: There's a sort of enthusiastic purity to...Jane: There's a sort of enthusiastic purity to the original paintings.

The contrast in A Deadly Affair (that beautiful hand-drawn lettering!) and 3 Day Terror just makes one cringe.<br /><br />OTOH the original cover for A Hare in March is pretty laughable in its own right.

They should just bite the bullet and re-use the original covers! Very interesting to be able to compare them, thanksJane Houshamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838867793630660837noreply@blogger.com
