Suggestion: Literature.Earthsea

The current image is that of the first book, which is not bad (though it could benefit from a quality upgrade), but I think it might be better suited for A Wizard of Earthsea, since it has its own page now. I feel for the series-wide page, I think one of the compilation books might be better.

Here's a few covers that could work.

1.1 - The Books of Earthsea: Complete Illustrated Edition (USA version)

---

1.2 - The Books of Earthsea: Complete Illustrated Edition (UK version)

---

1.3 - Earthsea: The First Four Books

---

1.4 - Earthsea Quartet

---

1.5 - Full cover art of the complete illustrated edition.

---

1.6 - Earthsea: The First Four Books (alt)

---

1.7 - Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition title page. Not a cover, but it's gorgeous, so I felt compelled to include it.

Personally, out of these, 1.2 is my fave, it's very minimalist compared to the others, but it's very elegant and classy. I also like 1.7 as well. But what do you guys think?

1.7.

back lol

1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 works

1.4

1.1

I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.

1.1 is my first choice, 1.3 and 1.7 tied for second.

to 1.1. or 1.7.

Everybody loves the me! I’m a great athlete!

1.1

I like 1.1 & 1.7

1.1 and 1.7 looks good. I can go either way with the images.

I don't want to brag or anything but when it comes to being the worst, I'm always at the top!

Now that I think about it more I actually my prefer 1.4 and 1.7, I've looked into it and apparently 1.4 is a version Le Guin liked and I know we usually should apply only minimal consideration to that at best but in this case she was always annoyed by covers changing Ged to look whiter than he is in the books and as pretty as 1.1 is because Ged is so far away on the cover it's hard to see his face which is much easier in bot 1.4 & 1.7.

On that note whilst I usually prefer to use different covers from Wikipedia just to make the internet a bit more interesting I'm gonna suggest just doing the same as them for Literature.A Wizard Of Earthsea and going with the first US edition (though a nicer quality scan than theirs):

Because Le Gun liked that one too and it clearly depicts the fact that Ged isn't white.

That is a very good point. Changing my vote to 1.4.

for using 11 for the standalone A Wizard of Earthsea book.

to 11 for A Wizard of Earthsea

1.4 and 11 for their respective pages.
