All the Hugo and Nebula Winners

I'm not about to go out and buy first editions of every Hugo and Nebula award winning book for $116,530.00...but it's a cool resource for cover gazing.

An interesting look at how covers have changed over time.

With regards to the covers, note this caveat that comes when you click on the cover to show it:

"This is a stock photo and is not the actual image."

Kind of takes away from it - I mean, the cover is an integral part of the book, & if it may differ from what you see, why pay $116K for the collection? I want to see what I am getting personally.

Hey Ces -- true enough if I was looking to buy. Although for my purposes, I like seeing the variant covers...

Hi there Irene!

The thing that bothers me - and I love looking at all the various covers too - is this - am I really looking at the covers, or just a drawing that some artist did hoping it would be the final cover.

And I didn't mean to be picking on the sight - this little caveat pops up lots of places. But today, being Friday the 13th & all, it just really bugged me.

Back to reading the VanderMeers' STEAMPUNK book now . . .

P.S. Glad to see you managing those migraines! :-)
