Although I usually don't look at them that much while reading, I still think they add something to the feel of the book and it's easier to visualize things a bit.<br /><br />My favourite of the ones you listed here is The map to Everywhere. Gotta love those MG covers, they are always to telling, showing often a scene of the book and the art often looks so pretty!Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-66866810071470418412016-05-14T13:42:36.047-07:002016-05-14T13:42:36.047-07:00The sign of a good book is a map, if I come across...The sign of a good book is a map, if I come across one I know it is going to be good - I blame the Lord of the Rings for raising the map bar high.<br /><br />I have the paperbacks of the Aaronvitch books and they are beautiful in the flesh, but of course still to read them!Heather @ Random Redheaded Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687310913717863161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-57868762379169296702016-05-13T18:45:58.647-07:002016-05-13T18:45:58.647-07:00I really love that Foxglove Summer cover!

As far as Nancy Drew, I've got <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/48717.The_Quest_of_the_Missing_Map" rel="nofollow">this cover</a>, which I like better. I just prefer 30s/40s Nancy to 60s Nancy, I guess.
