I remember Jove pushing out a few "Time Passages" books during this period. It was the signal to readers that you were getting a time travel story :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-47234801892501497032014-06-09T11:39:40.043-07:002014-06-09T11:39:40.043-07:00One of the things I'm enjoying (in addition to...One of the things I'm enjoying (in addition to the reviews themselves) about your reposts of older reviews is looking at the old covers. These are what I think of as "working" covers from back in the day - not the over-the-top fantasy purple ponies covers from the 80s that people love to make fun of, but just average covers for regular books not that far back in the past. But still, they look dated enough to be interesting to me as an artistic thing, and I'm trying to figure out what component of the cover says "a decade ago" to me.<br /><br />Maybe it's the gold font in this cover, and the watch - something says to me that it's an older book, not a 2013 or 2014 book. I think that font has fallen out of style with major publishers. <br /><br />Certainly the flower trellis up the side might be in an inspirational (although those are usually gorgeous covers) or a traditional romance, but not in most mainstream books, would it?
