Large Print Redux (Now WIth More Cover Commentary!)

Large Print

Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick.  Quick's covers come covered in roses.

Stolen Prey by John Sandford.  Big house in the woods at night.  I'm not sure if the vertical lines on the cover are supposed to be rain drops, scratches on a photo, or fold marks in photo paper.

The Last Boyfriend by Nora Roberts. Bed covered in flower petals, burning candles on bedside table, framed photos next to the candles.  One photo is a picture of a house.  Nothing says romance like black-and-white photos of old buildings.

The Sins of the Father by Jeffrey Archer.  Silhouette of a couple on a park bench staring at the Statue of Liberty during sunset.  The sepia toning looks awful.

What Doesn't Kill You by Iris Johansen.  Some cover as the regular print edition with a Jennifer Garner look alike pointing a pistol at the viewer.


Fiction


Overseas by Beatriz Williams.  I think this is some sort of time-travel romance set in WWI France and modern, super-wealthy Manhattan.

Unnatural Acts by Stuart Woods.  Photo of a restaurant called Elaine's with a CLOSED sign over the double door entrance.

NonFiction


Using Your Computer: the beginner's guide, third edition by Kyle MacRae.  The cover image screams "Great for seniors.  Go online with your granddaughter!"  The inside says, "Task Manager has several tabs but you're interested in Applications."
