I sort of wish they'd remained constant with the fonts and with the wraparounds, though. If you're gonna go this minimal on the cover, why not keep the variation minimal, too? I guess size-wise, you'd have to change a bit because of lengths of titles, but... different colors, different choices for bleeding the text or not, bold/not bold... the best one (to me) is Endgame. That looks exactly like what I'd think a Beckett text would look like. Black, a little hard to read, bare. I already like the play; I may have to order that one, just because of how much the cover matches my idea of the text. I like the idea, and individually, I like the way most of them look.
