Arrow Covers
Three Rivers Press Covers
Not only have they different covers but some of the books have different titles in each country, for instance To Hold The Crown was previously published in the UK as Uneasy Lies The Head.
The covert art is different with Three Rivers Press creating a look for the whole series which will definately make them easier to spot on the shelves. And Arrow following much of the current trend with lots of headless women.

Three Rivers PressWhich ones do you prefer? Are you collecting them now or is Plaidy already in your bookshelves in some of the old editions?

I really like the Three Rivers covers because, as you said, it makes them easy to find in the store (and on my shelves).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of these covers is the The Heart of the Lion--it's nice to see a man in there! I think the UK covers are prettier, but I think the Three Rivers cover do a better job of portraying the historical figures involved.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Arrow covers. I like the emphasis on the picture rather than the title, I guess. Don't care for the colored blocks on the Three Rivers covers (although, honestly, I'd read them regardless of covers).
ReplyDeleteI am loving the Arrow covers, would make me pick them up at once
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for a pretty book cover. The first two are beautiful.
