We've seen some beautiful book covers in the last month or two; also check out the covers of The Kneebone Boy, The Crowfield Curse, and Plain Kate, for example. Though I wonder just a little if their beauty is heightened because I'm so sick of the kazillion YA covers with languid teen photo faces on them. :)Kate Coombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138566291199003171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-4479914904690162302010-10-02T07:30:08.267-07:002010-10-02T07:30:08.267-07:00This looks charming - and I love the cover especia...This looks charming - and I love the cover especially.
