I only own one copy of Carrie. I had a reproduction of the first edition, but got rid of all reproductions as I felt they actually took up needed shelf space. And space -- that's an issue!
If it comes to a choice of which cover I think is best, I'd have to go with the signet paperback that features the half the character's face obscured in shadow silhouette.
There's just something fitting and hidden about it; nicely psychological.
In short, readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Stephen King's novels will find a motherlode of interesting information inside the pages of Brighton David Gardner's insightful and illuminating treatise.
I can't recommend it enough, so be sure to get it either for your Kindle or e-Reader of choice, or buy the print version because it's easily worth twice the cover price.
I've only got two. Collecting multiple covers of King books is something I'd theoretically like to do, but really can't afford. Someday, maybe.

ReplyDeleteOnly two... I'll buy multiple copies if the covers are older or if they're just neat looking.
