Judging a Harry Potter book by its cover?

The new front cover designs of the new Harry Potter book have been realeased! I remember the last Harry Potter book was all over the press when it was realsed too, with the conroversy about releasing the book simultaneosly, and people from the town it was printed in making bets about the plot. No doubt we will have the same fiasco this time too.

I know this is a popular series of books, but isn’t it a bit much to have two book covers for the same book?

I mean it’s written for children, the contents are the same, right? So if you would be embarrased to read the childrens version on the train, why not the same book in a different cover?

Strange Review

I was shown this strange review from Materials Today published in 2003, saying that Jack Christians book is at an undergraduate level. It’s probably the most complete book on phase transformations at an advanced level, amazon are charging £196.50 for this book new.

This is the article;

and this is the key/legend;

The net of law.

The net of law is spread so wide,
No sinner from its sweep may hide.
Its meshes are so fine and strong,
They take in every child of wrong.
O wondrous web of mystery!
Big fish alone escape from thee!
