Since November 2009Cover Wars: Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani
February 2nd, 2010 by Chloe
Adriana Trigiani’s novel Very Valentine is released in paperback this week (4th February), and has a brand new look too, and is very different from Adriana’s previous covers. Perhaps this will open up the appeal to her books to more readers, and I know I would certainly look twice at this book thanks to the new cover design. I much prefer it to the hardback version (right) and its nice to see publishers realise the cover of a book is becoming more and more important! Which do you prefer?
Here’s the synopsis of Very Valentine:
“Meet Valentine, an unforgettable and passionate woman with a heart and a dream as big as New York City. Her dream? To design the perfect pair of shoes …The Angelini Shoe Company, makers of exquisite wedding shoes since 1903, is one of the last family-owned businesses in Greenwich Village. Now, in the twenty-first century, the company run so devotedly by Valentine and her grandmother Teodora faces financial ruin. Juggling a romantic relationship with dashing chef Roman Falconi, her duty to her family, and a design competition for a prestigious department store, Valentine accompanies her grandmother to Italy in the hope of finding inspiration. There, in Tuscany and on the Isle of Capri, she discovers her artistic voice and much more, turning her life around in ways she never expected.”

I prefer the new paperback! I probably wouldn’t have bought the hardback, but the paperback is a nicer style. I love Adriana’s books - hope they sell well with the new look!
The hardback cover.
The new cover is definitely better. That’s a fun chick lit book whereas the other looks like sloppy romance - I suppose it depends what you’re looking for in a book
I love Trigiani’s previous books and looking forward to this. The paperback looks much better, I think. Agree with maryom’s comment about the sloppy romance cover.
