News: Book Covers - Artemis Fowl rebranding

Today, Eoin Colfer, the author of the brilliant Artemis Fowl books, met up in Picadilly Circus with a group of young fans in order to unveil the new cover designs for his books on a giant electronic screen. Mr Colfer has since blogged each of these covers and so I wanted to share them with readers of The Book Zone. I have to admit that I do hate it when publishers rebrand books mid-series as from an aesthetic point of view I like my collection to be of a consistent design, and with one more book in the series promised I do wonder whether they could have waited until after its publication. However, it is ten years since the first book appeared on shelves across the country, and a celebration of this is most definitely merited. Oh yes, and if I am honest I do actually really like these new covers and I think they will look great as a set; they certainly depict Artemis as someone who you really would not like to get on the wrong side of. What do you think?
