Flavorwire

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. Though the cover we all grew up with is undeniably great, we thought these ones raised the conceptual bar a little bit, which makes us feel better after that horrible, insulting cover of The Bell Jar that’s been making the rounds. After the jump, check out ten redesigns of classic book jackets that are better, or at least more interesting, than the originals.
