Steve | 615 comments I found this link of fantastic examples of classic literature books with head scratching covers. Basically, it seems to be public domain books being published by companies who aren’t familiar with the content and are just trying to make a buck by selling books using stock photos on their covers that may vaguely match a concept of the book. That’s a very generous way of saying it. I figured you’d all enjoy the list and it may be fun to share some of our “favorite” bad covers in here.

Thanks, Steve! I posted that to a couple of groups when I saw it, but maybe I didn't put it here. I loved it.

I enjoy getting the free daily email from "Lithub". It is a series of links to all sorts of articles about books. I might only look at one or two a day but that's fine.

The Woman in White really got me. It's about a bride, right? Light-hearted rom com right? Right guys? Lol.

Also the American flag "original copy" version of P&P.
