Michelle Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 “An enthralling literary debut that evokes one of the most momentous events in history: the birth of printing in medieval Germany—a story of invention, intrigue, and betrayal...” Would you like to get your hands on a copy of this before publication? It will come straight from the publisher in early September, so is UK only. To win? Simply visit http://www.gutenbergsapprentice.com/ and tell me (as a reply to this thread) which cover you prefer. Did the UK get the better one, or the US? Take a look around whilst you're there, there's some interesting information. I'm also going to run this on twitter, and combine entries. So you can do both, and get two entries. Closing date midnight Sat 30th Aug 2014. Quote
Chrissy Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Although the lower third of the US version is appealing, the UK cover is gorgeous, so I would have to say UK. Quote
bobblybear Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I prefer the UK cover - I like the red on it. Quote
poppy Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I know I can't enter, but I think they're both very cool covers. The UK one though is so pretty and is the one I'd choose. Quote
YArules Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Definitely the UK edition for me. The image on the US one is very religious, which i can understand given it printed the bible but I think is also misleading. Quote
Anna Begins Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I wish I could enter this one- this book sounds really cool! I like the UK cover best too Quote
Raven Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I like the US version, it's like they've opened a portal above the city and are looking down on it . . . Look, down there - boats! I may have been watching a little too much Stargate recently . . . Quote
Miss Benjamin Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Oh my word, they're both quite lovely. But if I have to choose one...I believe the UK got the better cover. I must say that website is mighty fine, too. Quote
Michelle Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 Using random.org, the winner is YArules. Well done. Quote
Chrissy Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Congratulations YArules, I hope you hang around the forum and let us know what you think of the book (and other reads!). Quote
