nothing in OP talked about the book itself pooplet

Show me your Funko collection you hipster.

Those were the shit
I like the cover art for the newer discworld novels as well, but Kirby‘s art style was GOAT

What the fuck is that Freakonomics book? I seem to see it everywhere, what’s it about? Is it a meme book?
And no I won’t just google it, if no one is willing to take the time out of their day to sum up the book for me to get me to read it then it can’t be that good and I won’t waste my time

Its "judging a book's cover" you illiterate idiot. Nobody is discussing the book's content.

An economist and a journalist use econ methods to get goofs and laughs. They explore how Roe vs Wade prevented a future crime wave, how giving your kid a nigger name may impact his life, et cetera. It's fun, it sated my curiosity, but you won't learn anything useful from it if you haven't skipped your econ classes. Similar books: S. Venkatesh - Gang Leader for a Day, B.D. Caplan - The Case Against Education, and Superfreakonomics (never got around to reading it, but it has a chapter on prostitution)

Bow down to the king baby

Terrible title formatting
I thought this said “Freekuh-Nuhmeeka”
Maybe that’s because I don’t speak Russian

This is a reddit-tier cover.

That's retarded as hell.

I like the old Ace paperback covers better actually. Plus the new editions have larger font, more pages and that stupid 'digest' format or whatever it's called so they take up twice as much physical volume as the old editions.

Gorgeous.

it's
FREAKO
NOMICS

What the fuck does that even mean? Everything nowadays is Reddit, that word has lost all meaning.

holy mother of BASED

I like this one a lot.

i unironically buys book for their cover

What do you hate about it? No spoilers please, still in part one. But to me it give the sad tone of a lonely journey that will be taken. Kinda like DS1

Fucking awful. Hate that new age adobe illustrator minimalist trash that publishing companies are shitting out for covers these days.

Good books should have good covers.

Shit taste, you need to go back.

this one is better

I thought summer was over

>that vibrant neon pink contrasting with the dark silhouette
>That subtle drop shadow cementing the silhouette into it's environment while also making it look like a missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle
>that off white text against the pink and black
This is hands down the best book cover of all time.

Hands down most accurate cover art ever

I've seen the OP in Barnes and Noble

Just got Messiah and Children of a couple days ago. Unfortunately, Amazon packaging is so amazing that Messiah was literally inside of Children of, so I just put a weight on it and after a few hours the wrinkles faded.

Can't wait to read Messiah, but I'm reading through SPQR first.

>larger font
wat I thought the whole reason of buying trade paperbacks and hardcovers over shitty mass paperbacks was precisely so you weren't reading tiny ass font

It's because you got paperback faggot

OP here, just got to the past where Paul and his mom escaped from the thotper, my God, this book is amazing. I don't want it to end.

Yeah the new art style is also on 2001 Space odyssey and 1984 and a few other classics

That book was such shite it really pissed me off

I'm still regrets that I bought that version, should have get the hardcover one instead.
