An American Bibliophile in London

This will hopefully (time permitting) be the first of several posts about geekdom in the United Kingdom.

I am currently doing my student teaching in a suburb of Manchester.  Each student is required to bring in a book to read during their downtime.  I, being the bibliophile that I am, immediately wanted to know what each student was reading.  What’s really cool is that though they may be reading the same books as we do in the States, the covers are completely different for many famous books.

Then this weekend I visited London and went to FIVE BOOKSTORES IN ONE DAY.  Here are some of the covers I saw that I thought were way cooler than their American counterparts:

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.  The only disappointing thing about this edition, is that in the U.S. edition, the font is colored (Shiver has blue font, Linger has green, and Forever has red) and these just had normal font color.
