Good grief. The German covers for The Lord of the Rings, in the three volume paperback edition of 1996. What on earth were they thinking of? Chemical-green covers, modernist typography, and with The Two Towers seeming to feature… a pigeon and a worm?
Hi,
these were the covers for the paperback edition since 1974 – and probably the ones most germans read until new hardcover editions were published in the 80s (while this paperback edition never went out of print, until today).
Best, Dirk
