Have you ever seen a book and thought to yourself, "Have I seen this book before?"
Well, that book was probably a cover clone, when multiple books have the same cover.
So here's a place where you can put all those cover clones!
Please try and keep the clones together!

WOW! I never thought they would be THAT identical when I opened this. I havent voted because they're all rightly clones.

i cannot believe authors used the same cover as other books but the one that chocked me the most was the copycat of Fallen it was the same cover but with another girl! so they could've just take the same cover not do the SAME photo shoot but with less blue,more gray,and with the girl's hair CHOPPED OF!
wow. this is insane, after pouring hard work into writing a book, they just copy someone else's cover.
Amazing. Way to make you believe a book is an interesting concept if you have seen the same cover before. Way more then I thought there would be.
Alisha wrote: "The real question here: which one came first? (each cover)"Exactly! I read " avoiding commitment " and that book has a clone cover. The thing I find interesting is that the girl on the cover of " avoiding commitment " looks exactly like the character described in the book so my question is what came first, the cover or the character. Interesting....
The models pepe toth and sztella tziotziosz, who are engaged, have so many book covers! (The lux series, the existence series, the second half life, blood of the white witch etc)
You guys do know it's not the author that chooses the cover, right? Unless it's self-pubbed, it's the publisher that chooses the cover.

true. But plenty of the worst offenders are not.
Which makes it worse, as far as I'm concerned. With the marketing people, the cover designers and everything, and they can't find an image that hasn't been used a dozen times?
when I was looking through them, some of them you can tell are different but have the same, theme I guess. but others you can tell are totally the same just a few changes made to colors...
Added
--> I think saw few more cover like this, but am forget the title =P
I saw more similar cover like the last two....but forgot the title =P
Thanks for creating this thread !!
I'd love too add some more cover when I find another....again and again.....
Okay sticking up for myself here. I'm an AVID reader, and I spent hours upon hours on shutterstock choosing the model I felt looked like Gabe in The Alphabet Game. The book came out and bam, someone showed me Try by Ella. I contacted Ella and she said as our stories were so different it was okay. Indie authors earn zero when they start and for me to find my cover was already in use was soul destroying, but as a working mum I just can't afford to keep choosing and paying for additional pictures. Anyway that's why so many are the same. There's a limit on what to choose. I can't afford hundreds of pounds for my own cover shoot (though wouldn't that be hot, more oil please)and there are hundreds of thousands of books so you can't check either. What we do need is somewhere you could submit your cover first and then people could vote and say I SAW THAT ALREADY!! That would be amazeballs. Anyway buy my book or add to your TBR lists ;) Andie xxx ps Happy to answer any more clone questions. It does bug me too btw!!
I added
and
. I am a very visual person and read on my Kindle so it bugs me when covers are the same. That being said I can understand that getting a unique image, especially when using stock photos, can be difficult and costly.
I have checked a majority of these books in our collection. I was thinking about doing a cover clone book display. I'm not sure where all these book images are coming from but most of them are not matching up with what is in our public library collection at all.
There also seems to be a very high number of books where one is a book published in a European country and one in the Americas.
Wow - this one looked familiar, so I Google Imaged it. She's a popular lady.
There are probably more - I quit after a couple of pages of results.
I never bothered to notice things like this before. I'm surprised by the so many reused stock photos for all the book covers. Though I can see why they were chosen they look kinda cool for the book. But of course it's what's on the inside of the book that counts!! ^_^
