Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers. The rules are fairly simple each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Future week’s themes are listed below. This week’s theme:
Guitar “You couldn’t not like someone who liked the guitar”
I thought last week was tough but this week’s took the biscuit! I’ve gone for one of Charles DeLint’s Newford books – Trader. I haven’t read this one but it fits the theme and it does sound really good. Have any of you read this one? Do you recommend it?
What an unusual bunch of covers – all of them are so very different. Surprisingly, the cover with the character playing the guitar is my favourite and makes me very curious:

Next week – Cat
Future themes:
23/06/2017 – Cat “In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this”
30/06/2017 – Hat “It is always cruel to laugh at people, of course, although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to control yourself “
07/07/2017 – Gold “All that is gold does not glitter”
14/07/2017 – Boats “The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea, in a beautiful pea green boat…”
21/07/2017 – Planet “Any planet is ‘Earth’ to those who live on it”
