Similar Covers: Boats

Here are nine books with similar covers:



I think Choosing Simplicity and Bark, Skin and Cedar are using the same cover image, but I’m not sure. I like all these covers (though not all the title fonts), but my faves are The Secret River, To All Appearances a Lady (though the title doesn’t sound like it goes with the cover) and The Puzzle Bark Tree. I just realized, though, that in many cases, it looks like the boat is superimposed on the water, as opposed to actually in it (if that makes sense). What do you think?

  1. They do all have a similar feel. You've got a great eye!

  3. I like the photos but not the type set used (on any of them).

    I have an older version of The Secret River and there is no boat or even a river. How can that be? LOL.

  4. These covers remind me of my friend's prize winning photograph:

  6. Whoa! That's a lot of boats! That's seriously impressive how much alike these all are!
    I think my favorite are same as yours; I especially like "To all appearances a Lady" but "Secret River" is good, too.

  7. I agree, those 2 look exactly the same. Very interesting. How do you find these?!

  8. That is extremely visually cool! Also agree with Ti that the images are great but the type is not very appealing on any of them. Kind of lacking cohesive design.
