I”ve decided to go with J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. \u00a0It was first published in 1954 in England with a mere 3,000 copies. \u00a0All three volumes of the first additions have a jacket cover that was created by Tolkien.\u00a0\"The<\/p>\n

It has the classic ring of fire or doom and Suaron’s eye. \u00a0The design in rather simple. The title followed by the ring and the eye beneath and the author’s name at the bottom all laid out on a white cover. Because of this simple design, production costs would be relatively low and much easier to print compared to some of the covers that followed later.<\/p>\n

Following the first release of the Lord of the Rings, a second was released in 1968.\"First<\/p>\n

This second cover is distinctively more colorful and has more design. Though there is no ring on this cover there is so much more to look at that it doesn’t seem to effect the vibrancy that comes with reading this book. \u00a0Compared to the first one, I do like the first one better. \u00a0It speaks of the older time that the book is placed in. \u00a0I haven’t read the books in a while, but when watching the movies I don’t see bright bold colors. \u00a0What I see are dark solid colors, except when it comes to the elves. \u00a0But since the story is based around this darkness, I think it’s fitting. \u00a0I personally would go with darker colors and not so much this vibrant yellow.<\/p>\n

There are many more covers that have been used over the course of this books history and there is simply not enough time to discover them all in an hour. \u00a0Most of the images that I have seen tend to be darker, solid colors with a simple design on the front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
