ITT we beat off to book covers instead of, well, reading.

>>9447329
take your head out of your ass shit head

>>9447337
Ok, that will definitely help me stare at covers better.

>>9447349
Some people like collectible books man. Can't we enjoy the book itself and the edition? Pro tip: yes.

>>9447215
Used to hate that cover until I saw the hidden images desu.

>>9447355
Most people on this board are just poor and insult anyone who can afford collectible books. Just ignore them.

this should have been used for every edition ever published. the fact that it's not is a travesty.

>>9447549
That cover is really badass. If I can ever find a slip case with that, which doesn't have one of those dumb paper dust covers that's the edition I want.

Never actually read the book, I just like Brad Holland

>>9447549
So there's an edition with that same cover from first edition library which comes in a slip case, but do they have dust jackets on them? It looks like it has a dust jacket, but I can't tell.

Looks A LOT like a Kathe Kollwitz piece. Pic related.

>>9447191

Hot damn that's a nice edition.

>>9447765
No. That's about as cool as the monster energy logo, gauge ear rings, and metalcore.

Ubersexualised covers for Lolita just sort of miss the point, imo.
This cover is my favourite. Simple, elegant, delicate, feminine.

>>9447815
ITS A TARP

I think he's referring to the woman in her eyes

>>9447784
Tacky and kitsch as all hell. Reminds me of those shitty "minimalist" movie poster that try to make clever symbols.

>>9447974
If you look closely there is a woman's face hidden around the center.

>>9447784
this strawberry turned me on

Hey guys, here's an idea. Let's talk about cool looking books and shut the hell up.

thought this cover was pretty neat, actually depicts something from the book as well with Christian's battle with Apollyon

>>9447853
Where do I find this cover? Love that its Hardcover as well. Much better than my paperback copy

Folio Society. Not cheap, but worth it - illustrations are great too.

>>9448570
this is some reddit tier shit

>>9448613
Folio is so tacky.

What hidden image? The only thing off about the image is that it has a face which is extremely visible on the front. If that was "hidden" then you're extremely impaired.

Changing the title of a novel for design reasons is a no go. Nabokov didn't name his book Lo Lee Ta.

>>9447549
desu the goat

>>9451732
Are you retarded?

>>9451732
The title isn't changed, look at the spine. 'Lolita' is intact. The LO. LEE. TA. on the front is just a cover illustration that plays on the book's iconic opening.

>>9448613
that's awesome

>>9450106
This post is cringe. Delet this

>>9451875
I feel like this is gives a slightly inaccurate indication of the book's contents

>>9447191
Does anyone know where I can get an english translation of the folio society edition? I got a bit of money for my birthday and there's a copy available for 150, I could just use half of my birthday money to get it and the other half what I would gladly spend on a book so beautiful and classic as this. I would like to save some money though.

Minimalism is the most overdone style in the world at the moment. Chew on that.
