Similar Covers: Escaping Butterfly

I was quite surprised to see the cover for The Liberating Truth: How Jesus Empowers Women by Danielle Strickland among the covers in LibraryThing’s latest batch of Early Reviewers books: it’s almost exactly the same cover as was used on The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire by C. M. Mayo.



The Liberating Truth will be published in August by Monarch Books, while The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire came out last year with Unbridled Books.

  1. I noticed the cover of The Liberating Truth and knew it was similar to another book but couldn't remember which one. You're a great detective.

  2. Wow--these are very similar! I'm surprised this is "allowed".

    Avis, you have me noticing similar covers myself (such as Faith and What We Have).

  3. I swear I've seen another cover similar to these and can't for the life of me remember what book it is.

  5. Oh these are very, very similar. You would think that there would be some research done before a cover was decided on.

  7. I agree with the other comments your a great detective. Someday I'd like to hear what some of the people who decide on cover art think about matching covers.

  9. I still can't believe how they've used the same pic for 2 very different books. A slight difference but it's still the same butterfly.
