Old Favourites Return

A couple of much-used cover images are getting another run around the block later this year. First of all comes A Fine Imitation by Amber Brock, which uses a photo by George Hoyningen-Huene...


which we have seen a few times before:








Then there's this photo by William Egglestone, being used on Deborah Shapiro's upcoming The Sun in Your Eyes...


..and which has been around the block a few times already, each time also with the white space used for the text block:

..and not only in English:

This photo is much too classy for horrible old Ayn Rand--a  fistful of dog turds wrapped in cellophane would be more appropriate.

A Japanese publication, the title of which translates as 'The History of World Costume'
UPDATE: Sharp-eyed commenter Gervase Fen pointed out another, the about-to-be-published Black Roses, which oddly enough also uses the identical typeface to Petite Mort.
