It kind of marks the middle ground between the two styles of typography doesn't it. Thanks for your input Warmest Rob Well, given your love for ‘hand-lettering’ over fonts, it’s no surprise you went for for the Therese Raquin cover Lija.

My favourite here is Therese Raquin by a long shot. I also have a thing for typography-based covers, and a slight bias (usually) for hand-lettering over fonts.

As for Dracula, well I agree. It's probably the cover that fits in the least, whic his a shame because technically it's a triumph.

I particularly don't like Dracula or Anna Karenina. I think I just like my classics to look oldy-worldy. Maybe if they were the covers of more modern books I wouldn't have such a problem with them. Or maybe I would...I can't decide. Hmmmmm, I hate to be a party pooper but I’m not sure I’m liking these all that much. I particularly don’t like Dracula or Anna Karenina.
