The bordering is brown and makes the page look like its out of a diary or something similar. It has subtext on the bottom, describing the contents of the book.

This cover reads at the top: R.A. Salvatore, The Legend Of Drizzt, book 3, Sojourn is at the bottom. In between them, we see a picture of Drizzt Do'Urden and Guenhwyvar, his magic panther, standing at the mouth of a cave. Drizzt is covering his eyes and it looks as though the magical clothes and chain plate he is wearing are falling apart in the sunlight. He is left-side profiled, holding one of his scimitars in his hand.

This cover is the traditional cover of the first of Dan Abnett's "Horus Heresy" books. It is titled Horus Rising, with subtext under the central title that reads: "The seeds of Heresy are sewn." The artwork depicts a group of Astartes Soldiers, massive 8 foot tall super humans, clad in white armour with a cats eye on one of their shoulder pouldrons, which is the chapter sigil for the Eye Of Horus Astartes Chapter. The group of Astartes are huddled around a central figure who is assumed to be the Primearch, Horus, himself. He is guiding them in what looks like a battlefield scene.

This cover depicts the title: Night by Elie Wiesel. It's background is stark white, the title Night is black, and Elie Wiesel's name is in blue. There is an award listed directly underneath: 1986 Nobel Peace Prize. The art on the cover shows the black shillouette of a young, gaunt, boy gazing at the reader through a mess of barbed wire and what looks to be chainlink fencing. There is a small, lovely, swatch of blue behind the silhouette.

It's been a wonderful journey. Rummaging through my memories and trying to figure out what books had an impact on me as a young writer has been interesting. All these things that stuck with me and led me to create this first work of mine was refreshing.
