Woah, that Polish cover is the first to catch my eye.
Second choice would be the UK Hodder (Limited Edition).
I voted for the blue edge edition from Waterstones. It seems classier than the others.

I went with Waterstones (Blue Edge) and my second choice would be Hodder (Limited Edition)

OMG!!! There's going to be FOUR different UK editions. Where am I going to find shelf space for those? lol.
I quite like the purple WHSmiths edition.
I like the color purple, so chose that over... Since it was to vote for cover only, but I agree that the blue page edges of the Waterstones edition is really nice.
I voted for the blue-edged UK HC as well.
Why oh why do U.S. editions' art always pale in comparison to the UK art?
Once again the US cover is the worst
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Not always. Just compare the US and UK Everything's Eventual and From a Buick 8. Those UK covers were hideous.Originally Posted by RC65

I don't understand this sentiment. The design and font choice on the U.S. cover is far superior to the rest, especially the Polish which looks very small-press-like.Once again the US cover is the worst
I voted for the purple b/c I'm all about purple. I have more purple-based shirts and ties than any other color. I use a purple-ink pen. Etc.
Purple!
But I don't buy UK editions of books also released in the U.S. So this is just a vote in principle.
Yeah, when I first saw all the covers side by side, I couldn't help thinking the US got cheated.Once again the US cover is the worst
You are in good company...
"The color purple has been associated with royalty, power and wealth for centuries. In fact, Queen Elizabeth I forbad anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple's elite status stems from the rarity and cost of the dye originally used to produce it.
Purple fabric used to be so outrageously expensive that only rulers could afford it. The dye initially used to make purple came from the Phoenician trading city of Tyre, which is now in modern-day Lebanon. Fabric traders obtained the dye from a small mollusk that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean Sea."
Agreed !!Once again the US cover is the worst
“The battle between good and evil is endlessly fascinating because we are participants every day.” - Stephen King
Yes, the U.S. covers are all about getting King's name as large as humanly possible. Really annoying.Agreed !!Once again the US cover is the worst
And again I seem to be the only one preferring the U.S. cover. I usually find them much better designed.
There were two votes for the US cover, so you aren't the only one.
John
I vote for the pl-Vinny Chong and the purple cover...
The NL Cover is also not bad...

This morning I received a copy of Revival I haven't seen. Rather bizarre looking. The dustjacket looks like a hologram. The inside flaps have very little written. On the author flap it just shows a white square where the photo would be and says Stephen King. Anyone seen this? I'll snap a pic later on if I get some time.
That's interesting. Sounds like a proof DJ. Would be great to see some pictures of it.
I prefer the Polish cover, at least in regards to Chong's art. Very striking and the only one that IMO captures the book's story.
US cover does nothing to me except say "Hey! It's a Stephen King book!" which to be fair is all it needs to sell. But it doesn't grab me like the cover for some of his other books have done.

Sorry for the delay, here is the funky hologram jacket on my edition. Sorry if this results in completists going apesh!t.

Looks like an early test copy.
Oh boy... that's quite something. So where did you get this again?
