In case anyone didn't know, Plaidy's Plantagenet Series has been slowly being reissued in the UK. The final three volumes will be published in October. I posted the new covers on my Book Covers Blog - here is the link: http://tanzanitesbookcovers.blogspot.com/2009/07/final-plaidy-plantagenet-covers.html. The Book Depository has free shipping worldwide and you can pre-order them there.
I will probably start doing some cross posting between the two blogs regarding new book covers - many of them are so pretty and I think it's easier to get excited about a book once you can see what it's going to look like! I'll admit it - I'm a cover slut (maybe I'll make that the name of a new feature!).

I'm a fellow cover slut =) My friend asked me the other day when she saw my stuffed shelves if I ever get rid of the books after reading them. I said of course not, look how pretty they are! The only cleaning I like is when I dust my shelves and I get to look at all of them!
And yes, I do realize that I need to get out more =)

I wish I had the what-all to post the bodice ripping cover of "Red Rose of Anjou" from the eighties. Henry VI is such a hunk in that one!
Love the covers, thank you.

I've been ordering other Plaidy series from Book Depository, and the Plantagenet series is in my sights for the near future. If anyone hasn't tried Book Depository, they're wonderful!

Actually Judy, I own several of those 1980 Plantagenet bodice ripper covers and posted them on my Book Cover blog. Here is the link:
