Book Covers - Day 1

[akane42me]

elmey nominated me to post covers of seven books I love - one cover a day for a week. There is to be no explanation or review, just covers. 

Update: spikesgirl58 says she's good for a second round, so I'm tagging her!

I would have been shocked, shocked , if this weren't your first choice :D

Nice looking edition too, is it a recent one?

I wanted to cheat and add 'The Honorable Schoolboy' and 'Smiley's People' to the photo:)

I've had it for a very long time, I'm just guessing 25 years. I'd sent for a first edition from Abe books and was disappointed when I received it - it's a Franklin Library edition. But oh, well. It's indestructible, I'll say that for it!

Doing this thing, I realize that I have a few books I should upgrade. I seem to be hard on books--It's partly because I carry them around with me. I still prefer to read paper rather than Kindle when I can.

I love having paperback copies. A lot of my faves have been re-issued in trade paperback size, which I can just toss in my tote bag when we hit the road. I do have the Karla trilogy on my kindle. And War and Peace, and Anna Karenina:)
