Plus I absolutely adore anything that reminds me of the Victorians.Nisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134954614122167115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-58285292349987326092011-07-28T01:25:15.016+01:002011-07-28T01:25:15.016+01:00funny, i just read this one. i'd go for the uk...funny, i just read this one. i'd go for the uk cover, of the two reissues. the us one seems more like a movie tie-in edition for some reason . . . maybe because it looks like a band cuts the image in two.gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100873047298594993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-34351606971672450372011-07-26T17:09:36.187+01:002011-07-26T17:09:36.187+01:00I'd go for the US cover.

Neither one stands out to me as either brilliant or terrible. If I had to pick I'd go for the UK one, as I don't like the way the US one is split in two. Although I would have liked to see Cory Doctorow mentioned on the front, as this would have made a difference in picking it up. In a bookshop I'd happily pick up either.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720369484196326982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-62381972142823276802011-07-23T22:47:09.024+01:002011-07-23T22:47:09.024+01:00I haven't read this book yet (although it'...I haven't read this book yet (although it's been on my wishlist for years) but I think I prefer the US cover.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-34975746414731487632011-07-23T18:23:17.099+01:002011-07-23T18:23:17.099+01:00I prefer the UK cover.

In the US edition, the metal eye doesn't flow right with the eyelid and I don't know.

The colours and image are sharper, not exactly eye-catching but certainly smoother and more visially appealing, at least from my standpoint.Bibliotropichttp://bibliotropic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-61431276802227650982011-07-23T03:01:25.380+01:002011-07-23T03:01:25.380+01:00I like the design of the UK one better but the col...I like the design of the UK one better but the color is off. I'd have preferred it to be gray or bronze maybe instead then it would be perfect.

Well, and the fact it doesn't reference Cory Doctorow's contribution. <br /><br />The US cover IS actually, somehow clearer despite the darkness (well phrased) <i>and</i> more informative, but man that eye's sort of disturbing. <br /><br />(which is where I admit I haven't read this one, and therefore I'm not sure which, if either of them, suit the story best.)Daynahttp://daynahart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-28425818031974780462011-07-23T01:03:25.076+01:002011-07-23T01:03:25.076+01:00Of the two I'd say the UK edition.
