Your Opinion: New LH Books Covers

Hi again!

I was browsing through Barnes & Noble's site the other night to see the new items that have been added to the LIW shelves and found the newly designed covers for the LH books! Have y'all seen them yet? If not, check out this link: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?userid=2TR1IJO437&WRD=Laura+Ingalls+Wilder&sort=P&Go%21.x=18&Go%21.y=12

If the link doesn't work (after you copy and paste it), search www.bn.com for Laura Ingalls Wilder and then sort the list by publication date. That should list the newer editions first!

I *think* I like the new cover art...I just wonder what the illustrations look like inside the book! I'm terribly fond of the Garth Williams illustrations and I cannot imagine anyone matching or exceeding his fabulous contributions!!

Your opinions??

btw-I haven't located the new editions on Amazon yet!

Thanks for the link, Kellie, it worked fine for me. While I think the new covers are attractive, I prefer the Garth Williams ones. When I went down the page and saw his cover for Little House in The Big Woods, it just gave me that warm and cozy feeling I associate with the books. But maybe people always prefer the version of something they saw first.
The new covers looks as if they are trying to look more like the TV show. Certainly Ma and Laura look more like the TV versions. But they are nicely done, and kids will probably like them.

I really like these new covers Better. You ever get to the bookstore and look at the cover and it makes you want to pick it up? I think if a new person that saw this set of new covers it would make them want to buy them, they look so much more appealing. LoL i hope you understand what i was typing.....Im real tired.

PS: Anyone know where delilah is and what she is up to?

I haven't heard from Delilah in ages other than a quick email with an email address in it. I am worried that her hubby has shipped out again. There was a big deployment about a month ago - maybe more - and the ship he was on went out. That was over 10,000 people. There is another deployment today for 8,000 people. I am going to send her an email and see what is up with her!
