I don't like them, so I went with 'No way', but I also didn't like the old photocovers.

i really dont care what the covers look like, because i dont follow this series, they could have barney and friends on the cover for all i care. In case you havent noticed,  im really not fond of the ubs

I went with "No way!" because I liked the old photocovers better. They should not put Frank and Joe portrayed as actors on the cover, they should just let the readers imagine what they look like.

Even the old ones had depictions of them on the cover... I think ... Maybe ... Its possible ... I'm tired.

I really liked the old UB covers, so it's obvious what I chose.

You know, I was just showing my dad the new covers (he's a retired teacher). His relationship with the Hardy Boys goes way back - he used to read the Originals in the classroom to the kids years and years ago.

But anyways, he said he likes the big font (the "Hardy Boys" at the top) but not the rest of it. Just thought I'd share that random fact.

So I like the old covers better. And negative_zone, you're right, they did have a depiction - it's a small sketch of them in the top left corner!

Yeah, I like the font and colors on these new cover but that's about as far as it goes. But I do think these new ones are better then the first ones, having said that I can't of wish they didn't change them - I like it when a series looks the same for all the books.

BTW, the picture of the boys you mentioned is what I miss most about, I thought it looked good, and I especially liked how it was used at the beginning of chapters.

Olivia

I agree with you - I actually like that character sketch thing too!

The character sketch is awesome! It looks better than the actors. ;D

Plus, that character sketch harkened back to the way the original series books were issued between 1962 and 1987 with the picture of the Hardy's on the spine.

Yes, definitely to bad that the character sketch not on the cover or the spine any more!

JoeHardyRocks

Do you think if there was a full body character sketch on the  covers, they would be better than the actors? ???
