Wow, I love the almost mystical feel about the covers..
But why are they called adult covers? |

they are called adult covers because they are the same book marketed to adults. Studies have shown that adults, at least those w/out kids, would be more likely to read them w/ a more mature cover vs. a young harry or cartoonish stylized image. |
