[quote=""Madeleine""]I like the way they use the same pic for both the Key books, and just change the background - lazy! :rolleyes: [/quote]

I wonder if both books are about the same couple. Even if so, it's really lazy though.

We've seen this gal before in this thread. Cover on the left is new-to-me.

Placeholder, maybe...

I really feel like I've seen this window somewhere else:

I thought maybe it was this one but not quite and I still feel like I've seen it before:

The four short stories of the second one also use the same image.

I have also definitely seen that window, and I can't think where!

That window does look familiar, but I have to work at work right now. One of those Mrs. Lincoln books?

I found this post by emr from a while back but it's the second window, not the first one.

[quote=""Mythica""]Slightly different with the turn of the head and color of the dress but otherwise, I think these are the same:

At least it's not bright green this time.

The thing about that green dress is - though it's on her backward and the entire photoshop job here is pretty poor, the COLOR is actually not inaccurate. With the discovery of chemical/aniline dyes in the mid 19th century, clothing became extremely bright. That said, American Duchess did the green so much better!!

Okay, I'll shut up now. :)
