New(ish?) covers

[carrie's younger brother]

I was surfing around the Internet and stumbled on these new (well at least to me) covers. I kind of like them. There's a few more here: New Book Releases, Bestsellers, Author Info and more at Simon & Schuster

What do yo think?

These are the first ones put out by Gallery Books (Simon&Schuster) since they acquired the rights from Random House/Penguin.

...quite minimalisitic....

Minimalistic indeed, but they capture the essence of the books. It takes some getting used to, but the longer I look at it, the more I start to like it. Not sure about the variety of the fonts though, why not stick to one (at least for the author's name)?

I really like The Tommyknockers cover (though I'm, really, a sucker for any Tommyknockers cover-- they always look so cool).

I like The Long Walk one.

Only one was wearing sneakers, that did not turn out well.

They remind me of the U.K. paperbacks.

...I should have expounded, yes they do distill the substance of each novel...and his usual font style is highly recognizable for a CR even from feet away. Quit pissin' with it...

I noticed these were all updated on the Kindle and Kobo bookstores as of 1/1/2016. Is there any difference in the e-book versions? I bought IT in July and Tommyknockers in November. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here with the new e-books.

There shouldn't be as Stephen doesn't typically allow abridged versions of his books and I don't recall any extra material being included for those.

They remind me of the U.K. paperbacks.

I have some of those and yes they are similar, they're published by hodder/hodder & Stoughton, which is weird because they also publish them new with usually good covers. These are mine:

I like The Long Walk one.

That's my favorite one!
