Bad (or Interesting) Book Covers - Part 2

Writing.

Warning: 18+, not suitable for work and the faint of heart.

I grabbed a few book covers from the Internet, trying to find a few good and bad examples...

Time may not always have been kind to some covers, because the meaning of the words may have changed. Or they were deliberately chosen, or these are completely fake. It's the internet, after all, and nothing you find on the internet can be trusted these days.


19. Invisible Bits

It looks authentic enough to be real.


18. Leather(y)


Chains and whips and stuff. Maybe a bit of waterboarding. The word bondage had not yet received it's ulterior meaning, OR this is the worst case of sly marketing aimed at the perverse.


17. Play My Flute


Euh... what? I mean piano. Seriously? Yes! You can buy this thing!


16. 1984

Let's go classic!

Assuming the previous cover wasn't intentional, then the one below is. Still, I'm not entirely sure if the cover matches the contents. You decide.


15. Sweaty Fairy Tales

I assume this is an early attempt at photoshopping? We'll try to ignore the title, topic and genre for now, as I'm pretty sure this ain't your regular Disney fare. It's probably more along the lines of 'Snow White Does the Seven Dwarves'... (Another classic.)
