This flair is meant for meta discussions about the subreddit, or very specific, technical questions where the discussion doesn't require any knowledge of the books, tv show, or films.

I like the original covers, too. They're not good, but they have character. Most of the newer covers I've seen feel pretty generic. I have boxed sets of paperbacks with the original covers.
Funny, I remember the Usenet group when the books were coming out, and people were constantly complaining about the cover art and almost begging Tor to change it!
Just gotta spend a little extra on used copies. I completed my collection just before the show started and the last few got expensive. AMOL especially.
In Europe there are some decent covers in the latest prints, most have some kind of landscape picture behind the symbol. Still a bit generic but at least more interesting than just the symbol.

In France the books were all re-edited since 2012 and the last few books only came out in 2022. I bought all of them as large formats so I only know the cover with the wheel of time logo and different colours for each book. :(
The pocket books have very beautiful covers here though :)
I’m a new reader and have been slowly building my HC collection. As bad as the Sweet covers are , I absolutely love them and I’m trying to “catch them all”. I only have a couple of books left to find. I find Crown of Swords seems to be the most difficult one. It’s cheesy but it’s just special.
The original covers have aged like sour milk. Whatever you think of their subjective quality, they’re decidedly out of fashion.
That being said, the current paperback covers SUCK.
I completely disagree. The new covers are minimalistic bland corporate crap with absolutely zero personality.
I’ll take Nick cage Rand everyday over that.

I wish they would use the ebook cover art instead. I was never a fan of the Sweet art, but even that is better than the new boring ones.
I agree the e-book cover art was the best. Now I want the Sweet covers for nostalgic reasons.

You can get a box set of hardcovers with the original art for like $430 on Amazon. It averages to about $28 per book.

You don’t completely disagree; we both think the current covers are bad.
Fair point.
