Guess the Book

Authors and titles removed but can you still recognise the books? I should say that I have shamelessly lifted this idea from James Anderson who runs the popular monthly book quiz at our shop on South Bridge in Edinburgh

The authors and titles can now be revealed. How did you do?

      Very good indeed! Was it too easy?

        Thank you for the acknowledgment Euan! You have gazumped us at South Bridge as we were gonna do this too.
        360 book jackets and the quiz is still going strong, however it’s getting harder to find good jackets to Photoshop out the text. ‘Alone in Berlin’ was a tricky one to do but a triumph.

        Credit where credit is due, maestro; it is a cracking idea that really captures the imagination of book lovers! You may want to have a look at our Guess the Author section – a similar idea and no photoshopping required…
        Hope all is well with you and yours
