jim, your copy rules all, but i must say that the american covers are much better than the british covers in general. a better, more creative font, that lovely chalky art that seems to glow on every cover, and great composition.
i always thought the babysitters club books had awful, cheesy covers.

Well, here are the British covers, courtesy of Amazon.co.uk
And the Adult covers
Spo we have the best Harry Potter covers. We have 2 sets of covers, both follow a theme and both absolutely PWN! Much better than those American ones.

Ooo, so that's what the sixth book looks like! Since I live in Canada, I always get the British covers. I like them a bit better then the American covers.

Yeh I like the british covers too, they are sold here in Australia. I prefer them over the american ones. Some overseas ones are so strange, the ones in different languages.

Of the "children's" covers I definitely prefer the American . . . but some of the British "adult" covers are rather cool.

I loathe the English 'kid's' cover for CoS. It's vile.

I used to love the babysitter club books, I read like the entire series and there are over 100 books. -_- But I agree, the covers suck.

I kinda like the GoF cover from Britain. Looks cooler than ours via dragon.

Heeheee.
I definetley agree about the really corny Babysitter's Club books. That's why I never read any of them. Heh.
