J.G. Ballard
I recently was going through some of my books and found a stash of J.G. Ballard works. I'm not a huge fan of science / speculative fiction at all, but at one time I liked Ballard a whole lot. Wondering what the books look like now, I found that Picador USA and Picador UK have both put a consistent design on his major books. There are some interesting differences.
Picador USA:
Picador UK:
The UK ones look a bit late '90s to me. What do *you* think?

Did you ever see the article on this history of Crash's book covers? It was in eye magazine (a UK publication).

(The published article had all the Crash covers. It was interesting because JG Ballard himself comments on what he thought was successful.)
Nope, never saw that. But I will now! Thanks.
