Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post. Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists. Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week participants are invited to come up with their own take on the theme of Book Covers. Never one to miss an excuse to peruse the books in my John Buchan bookcase, here are some of my favourite covers. Links from the titles will take you to my reviews.
Top row (L to R): The Thirty-Nine Steps, Salute to Adventurers, Greenmantle
Middle row (L to R): Mr. Standfast, Midwinter, John Macnab, The Dancing Floor
Bottom row (L to R): Witch Wood, The House of the Four Winds, The Island of Sheep

I like your different take on the topic as well. Sometimes text only can be more striking, as your examples show.

Thanks, I often look at books more that are not too colourful or with too many pictures etc. That is, if I’m in a bookshop and nobody recommended the book. LOL

You have a good collection of John Buchan books! I’ve read two of those in your photo, so plenty more to read.

I have quite a few others but they don’t have dust jackets. They’re hard to find these days.

There’s something about covers like this that I love. I especially like the one for The Thirty-Nine Steps.

The Pan ones are my favourites as they’re so of their time but not necessarily reflective of the time the books are set!

Those are some fun old covers! Book cover design has changed so much over the years, hasn’t it? I’ve never heard of John Buchan, but I just might have to check him out 🙂
Happy TTT!
