A thread of the worst #JaneAusten covers because even when they’re terrible, they’re ALL somehow brilliant. #1 The Regency ended at least half a century ago, and Emma is totally over this shit. 
#2 Pride & Prejudice, The Ladybird guide to simmering sexual tension.
#3 is fake news. How can this be an original fifties pulp fiction, when Darcy is clearly drawn from Colin Firth?
#4 is genius. There is no Little Shop of Horrors in Bath, but Lady Russell’s insidious Persuasion will EAT YOU, Seymour.
#5 Jane Austen the fourth Bronte sister. She drove Charlotte, Emily and Anne onto the moors with her relentlessly cheerful heroines and ceaseless wisecracks.
#6 Cashing in on the success of DH Lawrence novels featuring well-tended gardens, it’s Lady Catherine’s Lover.
#7 Pride & Prejudice, the full colour instruction manual?
#8 Ladies, if your gentleman looks this horny when you’re clearly in terror I’m raising 🚩🚩🚩
#9 Impossible to judge without seeing the stepback. Will there be room for all 3 ladies and a shirtless Wentworth on the chaise longue?
#10 is actually the best Jane Austen cover ever produced. Never, in the history of cover design has someone got it so right by getting it so wrong. This edition would take pride of place on Catherine Morland’s bedside table.
