Similar Covers: Girl Twirling Hair (+ Alphabet Blocks)

TLC Book Tours recently announced a tour for Wishing for Snow: A Memoir by Minrose Gwin. This book sounds like something I’d enjoy, so I looked it up and came across the original hardcover, which is the first image below. For some reason, I promptly plugged this image into TinEye and look at what I’ve found! (This is my largest haul of lookalikes yet!)

The other books are:

• God Never Wastes a Hurt by Jim Reeve
• Telling Is Risky Business: Mental Health Consumers Confront Stigma by Otto E. Wahl
• Angst beheeersen met aandacht (the Dutch translation of Calming Your Anxious Mind: How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Free You from Anxiety, Fear, and Panic) by Jeffrey Brantley
  
• Bruises (the English translation of Blauwe plekken) by Anke de Vries (a Dutch writer)
• Effective Interventions for Child Abuse and Neglect: An Evidence-Based Approach to Planning and Evaluating Interventions by Geraldine MacDonald
• Becoming Me: Diary of a Teenage Girl by Melody Carlson
• How to Deal with the Cares of Life by Charles Cowan
• Granta 66: Truth + Lies edited by Ian Jack
• Living with Grief: Children, Adolescents and Loss edited by Kenneth J. Doka
  

Finally, this image has also been used on an Arabic book (?) as well as on a poster promoting International Herpes Week in 2001! (I realize that many of these are fairly obscure titles, but still—it seems to me that this image should be retired for use on book covers!)

In addition, one of the books pictured above (Living with Grief) uses two stock photos on its cover: the photo of the wooden alphabet blocks has also been used on other covers (and one website):

These books are:

• Step Parenting: Creating and Recreating Families in America Today edited by Stanley H. Cath and Moisy Shopper
  
• Annual Editions: Early Childhood Education 00/01 edited by Karen Menke Paciorek
  
• High Frequency Words: Strategies That Build Skills in Spelling, Vocabulary, and Word Play by Ken Marland

The final image above is from the FAQ section of the MacDonald Home Inspection Inc. website. Notice how the letters on the blocks have been changed in the last two images!
