I have to agree it is really dumb to use the same cover for another book with a different title.I liked the potrait covers my self because it give me a visual image of the person I am reading.Danihttp://www.danisbookshelf.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-32303561928631577452010-03-14T17:14:15.722-07:002010-03-14T17:14:15.722-07:00I don't like this...I mean, what? generic book...I don't like this...I mean, what? generic books too??<br /><br />I personally love it when period costume is used and it makes it all the more special when I get a portrait of characters together in what might appear like a moment or snippet of the book. Of course, this might take too much detail, or research- and not ideal for mass production of books..like you say; marketing and $ have alot to do with it as well.Lucy https://www.blogger.com/profile/13600064401395449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-41296394995096041682010-03-14T11:11:27.892-07:002010-03-14T11:11:27.892-07:00I had seen the new one for The Captive Queen of Sc...I had seen the new one for The Captive Queen of Scots but didn't even realize it was the exact same picture used for The Three Crowns - they could have at least used a different pose!Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838072651419264066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-41164770593768188152010-03-14T07:29:59.312-07:002010-03-14T07:29:59.312-07:00I really love the portraits on the covers as well....I really love the portraits on the covers as well. That is the cover I have on all but one of my Plaidy books and I just hate the thought of have different covers on my shelf. Though I've decided when I purchase new ones I'm going to try to get the UK versions as I like those covers better than the new US ones.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13900579391813915664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-286624252586791932010-03-14T06:54:30.911-07:002010-03-14T06:54:30.911-07:00Wow, they used the same image on 2 reprints - that...Wow, they used the same image on 2 reprints - that's ridiculous.

Nothing of your gleaming, smooth look! but since book choice is so limited in my part of the world I just grabbed it.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.com
