This offering, produced by William Morrow Paperbacks in April 2013 is more like it.

This cover was produced by Earthlight in July 2000. While I love the disturbing artwork, which accurately portrays aspects of Bradbury’s wonderful, shocking writing, the clunky chunk of black across the top really intrudes on the cover design, I feel. This is the cover produced by Bantam in 1968. This week’s theme is drink, so I have chosen Dandelion Wine – Book 1 of the Green Town series by Ray Bradbury. This meme was started by Books by Proxy, whose fabulous idea was to compare UK and US book covers and decide which is we prefer. ![]()
