This week, we saw two alternate versions of Ray Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451 pop up on the Internet: one meant to be burned, and one meant to withstand burning at all costs.

After the jump, check out ten redesigns of classic book jackets that are better, or at least more interesting, than the originals.
