Anne Boleyn


On this date in 1536, Anne Boleyn was executed.  Although in recent years there have been a number of  books (fiction and non-fiction) written about her, there are also quite a few "older" books with some great covers.

Wow, that's a lot of books. I haven't even heard of half of them.

These are great. My eyes were starting to glaze over with all the AB posts coming out of my reader this morning, this is the best of the lot (although it is still morning).

Welcome to my blog collection of book covers. In the course of looking for books on ebay, I have come across some very interesting book covers. I didn't always end up buying the book, so the covers shown here aren't necessarily ones that I own. Just ones I liked, disliked or thought were funny, cheesy, etc. I'm no expert when it comes to creating stuff like this, so we'll see how well this format works. Suggestions are always appreciated!
