This. Literally just rip off a piece of art from the 19th century like all publishers do instead of spending time on making some photoshopped Eldritch horror

Do Wordsworth purposely choose those covers as a joke?

>not exclusively buying unmarked hardbacks

I don't know about publishers but "now a feature film" covers are the absolute worst.

>>9049244
i have that edition of candide, it's great!

>>9049244
Please tell me you shopped that and it is not the actual print.

>>9049248
If you made this it's not so bad. One criticism I have though it that all the stars seem too intricate. What I would recommend doing is using constellation art, such as a painting or something else with less complexity. I'm sure theres a god of war somewhere up in the night sky, so maybe pick Orion or something, and put the planet mars in there. Perhaps the night sky could be above a campsite or something.

>>9050155
Is this real. Holy this this is actually really funny.

>>9049235
Looks appropriate, what don't you like about it, anon?

At this point, honestly, I think they do it intentionally for advertising. They knew they couldn't stand out for being good, so they've opted to stand out for being bad.

Probably Vintage. Their designs are consistently trash and their uniform red spines are almost undecipherable from a short distance.

If On A Winter's Night A Traveller isn't even the worst Calvino in the Vintage line-up.

Vintage can be surprisingly good, but a lot of their covers try to modernise the style of the classic and it doesn't usually sit well for me.

Saying that, I love the covers they put out for Mishima's works.

>>9054625
I actually agree with you, and contrary to popular opinion on /lit/, I like their Murakami covers too. But that still doesn't excuse the sort of rubbish they slapped on Calvino and Dostoyevsky.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. I personally think they're just too modern in an edgy, unsubtle way.

Unrelated, do you keep all your books in those library style plastic sleeves?

>>9054683
>>9054705
The faux Russian lettering... jeez.

>>9054705
Not my book. Just googled looking for the cover and thought one that showed it in 3d might give a better sense for why I think it looks okay. With the red spine and continued theme on the book, that one looks quite nice. Even if, you're right, the spelling of BROTHERS is I guess legitimately retarded.
