I kinda feel the same way about the Mistborn series. None of them have covers that I really like. I feel like Stormlight gets all the love and care.

With the poppy books colour difference I’m assuming that that’s just because of the different coloured text, with the first one being a warm colour which bring out the warmer tones of the white and the other two having cold coloured text, so it brings out the colder tones of the white which makes one book look like a warmer white whereas the other two will appear to have a colder white/white with blueish tints.

white book covers can turn slightly yellowish due to sunlight exposure! it happened to one of my editions of iron gold! you can really see that the spine turned lightly yellow but the front of the cover is still crisp white

I've slowly been working through the dark tower series over the years, but I've only read the first 2 books fully - regardless I really enjoyed them, and I'm looking forward to reading the other 5 (+ wind through the keyhole!) so I appreciate you showing them on your channel :)

My favorite books, from an aesthetic perspective, on my bookshelf currently are the large paperback versions of The Wheel of Time with the E-Book cover art. They catch my eye every time I look at my shelf and the fact that the front cover image is repeated on the spine gives me something interesting to look at every time.

I live in Australia and wanted to get the full WoT juniper set but I got to checkout and shipping alone was a little over 600usd. I ended up just getting the jackets and am currently picking up the correct books here and there. My 10th anniversary WoK just showed up last week and they look amazing.

I'm just comparing my books to my wife's books in our book shelves. Mine, a huge collection of mostly scruffy paperbacks, I've read all apart from 3 new purchases. Wife's book, a collection of lovely large hardbacks , all with nice attractive dustcovers, there's everything from Italian cookery to Gardening and beautiful homes to Meditation and Wellness, all hardly looked at.

I think the poppy war is doing a thing with the white, it looks like each white is tinted slightly towards the color of the text on it. The blue one looks blue white, the purple looks purple white and the red one looks red white.

Damn it Daniel! I had to stop looking at The Folio Society's webpage, because I like having a house. But that edition of Small Gods... Oh, RIP my wallet. It's so beautiful. I have all the hardbacks of Discworld that you showed, and I love them. But I do love luxury.

Watching you loose your shit over the Expanse books was *Chefs Kiss*! Also while i am a huge fan of the Dresden books i agree with what you're saying. Not to mention that they haven't all been released in Hardcovers. It would've been cool if they would have taken advantage of last years anniversary to re-release more of the earlier book in Hard covers.
