Book covers day one

[eilidhsd]

elmey nominated me to post covers of seven books I love - one cover a day for a week. There is to be no explanation or review, just covers. Each time I post I will ask someone else to take up the challenge. Obviously it goes without saying that if I tag you and you don't want to it, you don't have to do it. Please do not feel obligated to join in. If

interesting and comparing it to my husband Aircraft carrier, what a change

It is First World War, a tale of great derring do.

Not sure about the rules either, lee the t has been posting pics of her dustjacketless volumes and I've already complained about the lack of trashy cover pics :D
But I think what you have in the house is the way to go--you can always list the title if it's not visible.

The only Buchan I've read is "39 Steps", and of course I read it after seeing the Hitchcock film. I see this has the same lead character--I love a good suspense/adventure, the cover certainly gives the impression of great excitement!

There is too much action and too many coincidences but the ending is superb.

This is a follow on to 39 Steps and you will know the film bears no relation to the book...

Old Hollywood and books never quite met in the middle.

The cover certainly evokes a scene of action and urgency and danger! I peeked at the comments and replies below and read that indeed the story has those elements, which makes me very happy. I hate covers that have so little to do with the book they are on that I've wondered if the artist's commission for some other book got used by mistake!
