Sounds great. I´ll look out for his designs.
I also like the adult Harry Potter covers best, not because I´m embarrassed. They just look interesting and mysterious.

I just love this edition of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood that I found for the book list: Also this is the edition I own of Special Topics in Calamity Physics: I think it's my favourite of the two covers available that I've seen, what do you guys think?

That cpver of the "The Handmaiden's Tale" is lovely and haunting - i definately prefer it to the one used in most editions over here these days. They're bleak and dreary which is fitting, but that one encapsulates those ideas in it's own way too (and it's just pretty!)

I love both covers! Such a more beautiful cover for The Handmaid's Tale than the one I have. I also really like the special topics cover, but my favorite is still this one: But all in all, the US got jipped on our Special Topics cover...

I have the same edition of special topics as Dom and it´s one of my favorite covers. The blue one looks great, too.

I really like those covers! I think that the cover of italian translation of of Special Topics in Calamity Physics is quite nice, but not as much as the other 2 posted:

Just going back to what Dorothy said about adult covers. In the US, I believe there is just one cover for children and adults. Does every other country have different images on the covers for the different age groups?

For the HP books, you mean? In Canada we get one for children and one for adults.

My copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (children's version) has a different cover from the ones I've seen online and I'm assuming those are the US ones... Mine has the scene where Harry, Ron, Hermione and the Goblin break into Narcissa's vault at Gringots! The ones I've seen online have Harry's duel with Voldemort...
I think the covers for the adult version are the same though...
