At least three of these “improved” covers would have been good LBC candidates. I’ll let you discover which ones.

I’m happy to say there are some solid improvements in today’s batch. Also some “can’t fix it if you don’t know what the problem is,” and a couple of suckerpunches.

The time has come! Time for us to find out if our fellow men can learn from mistakes, and actually (gasp!) improve! Just grab the little handle on the right of each original cover and pull left to see the updated version.

I’ve had to look through thousands and thousands of previously posted covers to come up with the three hundred replacement covers featured in this year’s New Covers For Old. And what really stuns me is all of the covers that haven’t changed — obvious typos, amateurish art, and other significant problems that the authors decided, “No, that can be the face of my book forever.”

There are a couple of sucker-punches in here that, if I had the conscience God gave a flea, would fill me shame. Too bad I’m remorseless.

In today’s installment of New Covers For Old 2021, none of the revised covers would have earned a place here at LBC. That’s really remarkable, considering.

Never let it be said that I don’t reward even the slightest effort… which is why some of the incremental changes featured in this installment of New Covers For Old 2021 are almost negligible.
