Let's try to keep Wordsworth out of it, they're too easy a target.

>ITT: Awful book covers.
Yeah, let's not have this shitty thread again.

I love the SF Masterwork editions of science fiction novels but I always hate their covers. They're tacky, gaudy, unpleasant to look at and very rarely have anything to actually do with the novel itself. Pic related is the copy of Ubik I have and not once does this shit seem relevant.
James King
I need to vent my distaste for shitty book covers somehow. Poor graphic design shouldn't be acceptable.
Julian Bennett
desu imo not all of their covers are bad, some are genuinely good whereas some are enjoyable if you like that pulpy 1970s futurist aesthetic
Kevin Robinson
That's all on the publishers, who really gives a shit? Funny for a laugh at some, but who's actually autistic enough to take this seriously?

People on Veeky Forums constantly complain about poor book covers, user. Some even admit they won't buy a book if the book cover is bad.

what i hate is the spine
fucking yellow puke

Often times really cheap publishers have bad covers, and I wouldn't buy from them because the books themselves aren't good, but as long as the book itself is fine what's the problem? It's going to be covered up on the shelf most of the time anyway.
maybe I just wanna be open to discussion my dude.

Just finished Ubik, no woman of the description on the cover is even in the novel. Piss boiled.
Grayson Thomas
literally my copy of lolita has this as its cover. i kind of appreciate that it doesnt go on the nose with just a picture of some young girl but it feels pretty damn irrelevant to the novel
if you picked this up with little knowledge about the book whatsoever you could easily assume it was some guide to drawing for old women with copious amounts of bowls of fruit
Alexander Gray
fuck you, picador

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, I want to smack the author for being so self-indulgent. On the other hand, I kind of hope it's true and that's the only reason why anybody would name their book this.
Landon Perez
Any TV-show or movie-tie in cover is abhorrent.
Jaxon Perez
where do you think you are, son
Jacob Flores
I would imagine that book as humberts secretive notebook that his wife found leading to the primary elements of the story.
I'm sure the original artist had no intention of this however

Wrong. This is kind of brilliant, especially the 1940s pin-up girls. My only gripe is that it's very cluttered.

i dont think you've been around here for long enough. of course theres the catchphrase but it doesnt stop some of the spazzes we have on here. some people visit here and dont even read for fucks sake.
Wyatt Nguyen
if the book is shit, it's ok for the cover to be shit as well.
