Hardcover vs Paperback 62

Far From You by Lisa Schroeder

Hardcover

Paperback

Amazon.com:

Lost and alone down the rabbit hole.

Alice thought she knew

what solitude was:

Her mother—gone

Her father—remarried with a newborn

daughter.

Now...

trapped

in the icy embrace

of a deadly snowstorm

Alice faces the true meaning of loneliness.

But hope

may not be as far away

as she thinks....


The paperback cover is more poetic to me. It also definitely says angels more so. While they both say snowstorm I think the paperback says it in a more interesting and original way.

  1. I really liked the first one. Even though it was more because of the shadow and the photo angle and less because of the story summary

  2. I like the paperback better too. The silhouette on the hardback just doesn't work for me.

  4. I like the drama of the first one but the paperback is prettier. (Ha! How's that for not really answering?)

  5. Ha! I didn't even know they were changing the cover! I think the second one is like you said more poetic.

    I have a signed copy of the original cover.

  6. The second would catch a little bit more of my attention if I happen to pass these two in a bookstore.

  7. I actually prefer the hard cover. Something about snowflakes always gets me. The paperback is sort of soft and gentle though. But I'm not a fan of having people on covers generally.

  8. I'm more enthralled by the hardcover, but I feel like the paperback cover might have more to do with the plot and the story.

  9. Paperback!!! I just got the PB yesterday and OMG! It is probably the most gorgeous book I own. Stunning!

  10. I think the paperback is gorgeous, too, though I do like the snowflakes on the hardcover a lot, now that Cat mentions it. Still, the silhouette isn't working for me either, bermudaonion. So I'll go with paperback.

  11. I'm loving the paperback a bit more. The paperback catches my eye more :)

  12. The second one kind of reminds me of the cover for "Ash" (which I love), so my vote goes to that one. :) I do like the colors of the second one, but the silhouette is just kind of weird.

  13. I think this is a tie for me. I love the hardback, but the image of the angel is so magical that I can't choose between them!

  14. I'm with you in liking the paperback more too. But is in a weird square shaped paperback like that image? Not a fan of the shape, I can just see it sticking out of my bookshelf and annoying me.

  15. I've never seen the paperback one...but that's so cool! I like it, maybe more than the hardcover. They both look similar but the second one appeals to me the most. Very nice :)

  16. Ooh, tough decision. I like them both, but I think the paperback captures my attention much more than the hardback.

  17. I like the paperback better. It's more eye-catching.

  18. The paperback is beautiful, but the hardcover is more eye catching.

  19. The paperback looks like Ash! (Which you probably know, but I like to state the obvious when it hasn't been stated before XD)
