Cornerstone recently published a new version of To Kill a Mockingbird, for it's 50th Anniversary, while the sequel to the book, Go Set a Watchman, is set to come out this summer with an equally appealing cover. Let's take a look at the various covers of Harper Lee's classic:
1982 - It seems a bit outdated now, but it definitely reminds me of middle school, where the library was well-stocked with this version.
1989 - Arrow's first verison of the book, featuring the iconic mockingbird and a black cover that hints at the difficult and dark issues explored in the novel.
2004 - Vintage Classic edition with elegant minimalist cover art.
2006 - The American cover looking ahead to the 50th Anniversary of the book's publication evokes the original with its tree design and color scheme.
2010 - Another American edition for the 50th Anniversary includes a variety of the important symbols of the book.
2010 - Arrow's cover for the 50th Anniversary reminds us of the carefree and adventurous spirit of the protagonist, Scout.
Which cover do you like best? :)
