How about this? Thanks! :)


message 53: by Teresa Jo (new)

Teresa Jo (teresajo) | 246 comments Just to verify this will work (the comment about the handprint not working got me to thinking).

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer is the Kindle cover and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer is the paperback cover.

No, sorry, those won't work. The hand needs to be in its full form, though it doesn't need to be attached to a body (disquieting thought)


message 66: by Book Concierge (new)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4461 comments Thanks ... I can use it elsewhere (and the cover won't matter so I don't have to worry about which version shows up at the library)

Bec (foreverfnm) | 132 comments Hey, just wanted to check that its okay when a hand isn't fully visible, but there are five digits, the lower one being a thumb, one would assume?

Teresa Jo (teresajo) | 246 comments Is the thumb (holding the sword) clear enough in this one? It is really clear on the larger picture on the Amazon page, but not as clear on the goodreads picture.
