That is fantastic...where does it come from?
It's from the hardback to Lisey's Story. If your wondering who did it...Mark Stutzman did it.

Wow! The UK hardback cover sucks in comparison :(
DT: is yours the green one with the feather and the drop of blood aswell?
Yep:

(It looks blue in this shot, but its definately a greeny-turquoise colour!)
Inside the the cover its just plain red with no illustrations.
I was never too fond of that cover. I always liked the shovel because it could pop up some very good questions for a new reader just picking it up. For instance "What does the shovel mean"?
In general UK King covers suck :(
I think the UK covers are too plain sometimes.
They are, and I don't understand why. The Cell cover, for example, was plain ugly! Anyone know why there are different covers - why the publishers don't use the same covers for the same book?
What they think will interest folk in certain markets/countries I'm guessing.
I was just going to ask that question. :)
Or appreciate sublter covers more than Americans.
:lol: Some are subtle - the DT hardbacks show different views (in perspective) of the Tower and are in different colours, which I quite liked. And some of the Hodder and Staughton paperback covers are ok...but generally they're...bleck!...I'll see if I can find a picture of the Cell cover and you'll see what I mean.
Ya, I went as far as cutting the paper on my brodart so that the book would show. It's not perfect but it works.
Here are the US and UK Cell covers. The UK one is on the left.

Here are the US and UK Lisey's Story covers. The one on the right is a proof cover from the UK. I've only seen two copies of it (and I have one of the two!).
John
I probably would have gone with the right one to release in the UK.
I prefer that too.
As for the Cell cover, I haven't seen that UK one you have John, the most mass produced one I've seen in just red, white and black - although the UK publisher Hodder have just reissued all their King books with new covers - this is the newest cover for Cell:

all the other books are much the same, a bold colour with one graphic - eyecatching I guess, but still boring.
The UK Cell I pictured is the hardcover edition. I've not seen the UK paperback, but I agree that the one you show is very boring! I wonder what those publishers are thinking! They seem to be sacrificing everything interesting for conformity.
John
Well when the profits start to go down because nobody is buying, maybe then they will rethink conformity.
We get the same as the UK versions .. they must be just standard international release or something.
And yes, most of them suck :) but theyre all like $25 so thats ok ;)
Are those hardcover or softcover? $25 for a softcover book seems expensive!
John
That's got to be for the hardcover, I couldn't see paying 25 for a softcover.
AU$25 ($20 US) for the large size soft cover normally, AU$35 ($28 US) for the hardcover. Small size softcovers (novel sizes) usually AU$15-$20
Remember to incorporate freight costs for internationally published books
That's expensive! Yikes!
Man, that is expensive Zone!! A paperback here is generally £7.99 with hardbacks more pricey at about £17.99...although I paid £25 for Lisey's Story.
EXCHANGE RATES PEOPLE :)
DT Its exactly the same price doofus :)
£7.99 = AU$20
£17.99 = AU$44
So its all in the same ballpark as our hardcovers can range from $35 to $50
I love it when you call me doofus :lol:
its so hot
I was wondering, when Scott's father cut himself, how was he able to heal those wounds? Scott healed himself and his brother by going to the pool, but his father never traveled to that side, yet he seem to have healed just as well as his sons.
I guess talking logic about a book describing parallel universes doesn't make much sense, but I still have to say that it felt like a logical error. Or simply that I missed out on something.
I think that Scotts father may have visited as a boy. At least I got the impression that this had been a part of his family for generations.
I Agree With Matt.
i didn't get them impression that scott's dad cut as badly or as deeply on himself as he did the boys. i assumed it was more of the cutting behavior that is seen today.
I am going to merge this with the existing Lisey's Story thread with a brief redirect.
Great thoughts by the way.
Sigh, the US covers are so much better than the UK/Aus ones we get
next king release im ordering it online.
