Why is there a girl on the cover of Catcher in the Rye? Re-imagining of the books protagonist?

I like the 1984 cover and the hair reminds me of Mojo Jojo for The PowerPuff Girls

The girl on the Catcher in the Rye cover is Holden’s little sister Phoebe – it’s at the end of the book when they run away (hence the suitcase) and he gives the hunting hat to her.

I can see the poe one becoming a highly popular hipster tshirt….

I think the “Lolita” one is my favourite. Some of the others are interesting pieces of art, but they miss the mood of the book.

Jane Austin: too sweet

Gatsby, Hobbit, are pretty lame. Only awesome one is the Dubliners.

These covers suck.

Also… picturebookreport.com ;)

i missed the amazing part

Jillian Tamaki’s “Black Beauty” is a bit too similar to E. Michael’s original “Catcher in the Rye” cover.

DUDE. You get a chance to create your own cover for some of the most classic stories of all time and THIS is the crap we get? Looks like a sale pile at a Boarders that’s about to shut down. Macbeth was cool.

Yawwwwnnnnn.

Does anyone know where I can get that copy of Emma?

Think Moby Dick, The Raven, The Dubliners, Emma and MacBeth are great. But The Hobbit, Pride and Prejudice, The Golden Compass & The Great Gatsby are all a major letdown – they completely miss the mood & flavour of the fantastic story between the covers…

Casting a vote for Moby Dick. Crisp and attractive — @owlcanyonpress

Love all of them, but surprised that you didn’t take a look at Coralie Bickford-Smith’s clothbound Penguin Classics series. They are GORGEOUS.
