OMG, you guys, this is so cool: A P. G. Wodehouse Coverage.

It's a fairly exhaustive collection of covers for P. G. Wodehouse books. The layout is a little confusing, but if you scroll down and click on any of the covers shown on the main page, it will take you to a page with all the covers associated with that particular book. If only there were some bigger images available!

The covers range from baffling to beautiful to fairly hideous. It's an awesome selection of different styles and interpretations of the characters. (I'm also amused that the German title of My Man Jeeves seems to translate roughly to "Jeeves does it all." Indeed!)

ETA: It might actually be easier to navigate via the list of countries, because then you get a list of titles. Either way, it's confusing.

There are some pretty decent covers there, but most of them are just...completely bizarre and/or hideous. A number of them have Jeeves wearing things he wouldn't be caught dead in. Mutton chops? Really? Or an orange & yellow dressing gown?

I do love the UK cover of "Ring for Jeeves" (http://axxc.nl/pgw/boe/ring.htm) - 3rd row, 2nd picture. XD

*cough, cough, snort*

That's the kind of cover I need for my fanfiction. When I actually get the nerve to post it. LOL

Oh dear God. On an American cover for "The Inimitable Jeeves" (http://axxc.nl/pgw/boe/inim.htm) (4th row from the bottom, 2nd picture) Jeeves looks like Poirot. :O

OMG.

Okay, seriously, some lazy publisher had to have just snagged a Poirot picture from a different book, right?

There are simply not enough gay novels in this world.
