The best Lolita cover has a photograph of a little girl on it. Also I would suggest that a good choice for a Lolita cover would be a Balthus painting; one of the portraits of Therese. I am currently writing a work of pedophilic fiction, I think the aesthetic of little girls is very important. OP, your cover is shite.
>>7784230
yeah the balthus is the way to go.
>>7784230
Kill yourself.
>>7784250
That's actually pretty good.
>>7784205
How did I miss this? Sometimes I wonder whether I am too stupid for literature.
>>7784315
same here
I got that shitty blood meridian cover, you know which one.
I don't want to discuss about aesthetics; Im about to publish a book of poetry; I just need ideas.
>>7784602
I really like this one.
btw Im looking for something related in some way with silence
>>7784200
Not posting the actual best cover
>>7784241
fuck man I had this one and a girl stole it.
this would be a great cover
>>7784646
penguin classics covers of conrad books are all great
I've always loved this cover
>>7784378
Not really a book cover but would be amazing if it was.
>>7784696
Nah, the cursive title typeface makes it look like dime-store romance trash.
>>7784714
The Cabinet of Dr Caligari has so many shots you could just frame or use as covers for books or albums, that distinctive, zig-zagging impressionistic set design is to die for.
>>7784733
I like this too, anon.
I have a huge crush on him
>>7784315
lmao, I always saw it simply as a children's room
>>7784989
>Crush on a 5'1" manlet
There was a whole thread on how small his weenie was a while ago
I personally enjoy my cover of pic related.
>>7784200
I posted this one before but I really like my first edition of Herzog.
>>7785122
This is postwar Japan where everyone is around 150cm tall. Plus you will never see him in personal so its not like it even matters, you wouldn't be able to guess his height by his pictures
>>7784989
>Hating my hero
Stop it.
>>7785166
One of my favourite books from last year was umbrella, but I hated the cover. Anyone agree?
>>7784283
Liked the book but this cover was awful
>>7784311
Bit vague - looks like it could suit any and every book, you know?
>>7784250
>>7784670
This book consistently has the best covers. Don't know why.
>>7784241
moo sooferiiing
>>7784200
great
>>7784317
Works well in real life. A friend of mine has it, but it dies quickly
>>7784378
Would love
>>7784591
Like it. Don't know if it really suits the book though, what do you think?
>>7784597
Classic
>>7784602
Not really a fan. Maybe that's just me.
>>7784655
Really ugly. Charity shop shit, imo.
>>7784733
Much better than the black and white hand, or the black and white alien-shape things. You can see that it's Ferdinand going into that tall house, and that it's disgusting.
>>7784989
Everyman has always been quality over aesthetics. Not really ugly but not pleasing either.
>>7785274
Let's all shit on Mishima king of sudoku desu
I like this album cover
>>7785165
What is this ?
>>7785399
>Gosh, this kind of post are a pain in the ass.
>There's always one obnoxious dumbass
Gosh, this kind of post are a pain in the ass.
There's always one obnoxious dumbass
>>7785406
>no one likes my blog 'n opinions and stuff, like, totally
>>7784205
Holy shit I never saw that
>>7785438
I'm not even the one who did the long ass post.
>>7785314
Stop posting any time
>>7785467
There is two of them, then.
>>7784378
swedish GR cover
>>7785314
This post reminds me of the little monologue youtube celebs have at the end of their videos.
can someone please post this cover of a (russian i believe) bourgeoise woman looking "scared" and covering her mouth with her hands? its from a painting, and i forgot to save it so i could google it later.
I design my own bookcovers for kindle, thoughts?
>>7786373
Absolutely awful, would refuse to read based on the cover.
>>7786381
How about this one?
It's hard to find a bad cover for this book.
>>7786385
eww
>>7786385
You know there's lots of great royalty free are out there to use. Like historic pieces, not clipart
>>7786425
Eh, I can't really be bothered to do more than clipart, I just really don't like any of the existing Faulkner book covers.
>>7786428
Damn
That's the best Lolita cover I've seen.
My favorite.
>>7786428
Absolute filth
>>7784200
The Great Gatsby
>>7786428
this is so much more suggestive than the bedroom cover
>>7786428
This is like Banksy art.
An attempt at being 'subtle' which actually gives the whole fucking game away.
You could tell what that's portraying from a mile away.
>>7786538
I don't think it's trying to be subtle. Just clever
>>7784655
all German book covers are shit. they all look like what happens when you order a physical copy of an e-book.
>>7786428MODS
>>7785166
>stubby manlet finger length; did not live a life of manual labor
Yes I would have you projecting faggot. I also immediately knew that Borges was a dwarf from the photo where he's holding a cane.
>>7784602
anão é leitorzão
>>7786538
Took me a while to see the lollipop tbqhwyf
>>7786911
merzbow wannabe
>>7784230
kill yourself
>>7784250
yeah it looks ok but it's entirely devoid of meaning
>>7784317
>when the cover is better than the book
>>7784371
so don't discuss aesthetics.....why did you say this
>>7784591
awesome but makes treasure island seem much more contemplative than it is
>>7784655
everyone's bagging on this but honestly it's great
>>7784733
excellent but the map one is god-tier
>>7785163
all the covers of herzog have been gorgeous
>>7785227
would read if actual book
>>7785488
>that goofy ass face
yikes
>>7785521
god-tier
>>7786428
disgusting, honestly
>>7786935
god-tier
The greatest.
>>7786935
>Debolsillo
Editorial Tomo lo editó en pasta dura.
>>7784200
for some bukowski or cortázar book
>>7786980
kek
>>7784749
>impressionistic
Japanese cover for Vineland
>>7788224
I like it.
>>7788224
Against the Day
>>7788229
and Gravity's Rainbow
>>7784749
Expressionism anon.
I quite like these German covers for Lem because there's some space stuff on them but you don't feel like you're reading complete pulp.
>>7784602
tacky as fuck (like most shit by Aleph)
Pic related, their only non-absolute shit covers (along with the Clarke ones). I recommend buyers to remove those ugly stickers though, you'll still have the book name on the spine
>>7788480
Can we stop pretending hue is a language ?
I really like these
>>7788502
>says the faggot on the board that idolizes Pessoa
>>7786467
Please tell me this is a fucking joke.
>>7788522
>>says the faggot on the board that idolizes Pessoa
>>7786428
l-lewd, anon, p-please no
>>7788233
i love this, and the rest of the jap pynchon covers are great too, unlike the where's waldo covers on the uk editions nowadays
>>7786428
Lolita covers usually look really tacky to me whether because they are so fluffy and have girls on them or because they add some edge in the mix. I guess this is one of them but some thingabout that lollipop stick just looks fucking brutal, it's so simple yet so repulsive.
>>7786385
Who is this supposed to be? What does this have to do with the book
>>7785399
yeap, Möebius, there is a signature, also the great colors and shapes, really beautiful
>>7784250
Post it on /v/, see how long will it take until loss edit. Stopwatch recommended.
>>7788826
Like this one?
>>7784733
the new one is so fucking ugly, makes it look like a horror YA novel
>>7786467
Patrician
>>7786373
in all honestly this is really bad
>>7786385
you should just give up.
>>7784205
Looked like a lolipop to me.
