ON THE WEB: WAR OF THE WORLD BOOK COVERS
by Hazed
H G Well's book War of the Worlds has been in print for more than a century, and its depiction of the Earth being invaded by horrific creatures from Mars is still a thrilling read. Here's a collection of the book covers from many of the editions published all over the world since its first appearance in 1898 right up to the present day. There's a huge variety of styles, and if you view them in chronological order they give a pictorial guide to changes in society. Take a look at http://drzeus.best.vwh.net/wotw/.
