In yesterday's post, I mentioned that my copy of Stephen King's latest novel - Never Flinch - had arrived in the post.
My cover is the collector's edition that can be found at WH Smith. Before it arrived I showed some family members what my version would look like and showed the regular UK and US covers.
Everybody at home preferred the green cover, so I asked others using a screen grab I used from a Google search.
There was a 100% consensus in a WhatsApp group with three friends in favour of green. One other friend was asked and they said they would have sided with green, but they liked the grey - US edition - as well. I'd still consider that more in favour of green.
Another friend sided with green when I asked him in a TAFKA Twitter direct message.
I had one other friend side with purple when she got back to me.
That leaves two other friends. Both in the USA. One went purple and the other chose the US cover.
To conclude - green wins the debate (if you can call it that). I'm happy with purple though. Especially with the knowledge that it's a 'collector's edition'.
