So, I thought of this game a little while ago and thought it would be fun!

There are many books who have alternate covers and editions. Now, it's time to pit them against each other. For this game, someone posts two different editions of the same book (using the "add book/cover" option) and the person who posts after them will give their opinion on which is better, before posting two more covers of a book.

Do you need help trying to figure out how to post different book covers?
It can be a little tricky if you don't know how. When you search for the book, it usually brings up only one cover, right? Beneath the "add" button, there's a little link that says "other editions." When you click that, it should bring up the other covers of the book and let you add them.

I'm eager to see if you guys like this game!

I'll start:

Kate (kaitlins16) This one is a little tough. The first one looks great, but I like how the second one is a drawing instead of an actual person. It shows more originality.

What is up with all the crotch and booty close-ups on books? I pick the second one. I like the purple and the fireworks. Although it's odd how there's not a moon on either one of them.

On a similar note, how about The Silver Moon Elm?

Why can't I add more than one cover of the same book? I tried with some examples you guys used too, but only one option of the cover shows up. Help?
