Books in yellow covers tend to be more interesting than others.

@bouncepaw Any examples you would enjoy sharing? Or are you really talking about the German publisher Reclam? :)

@lemmus I'm glad you asked! I'll snap a photo tomorrow. Regarding the publisher, I don't know about it.

@bouncepaw Reclam is sort of like Penguin Books, and they have a very recognizable style of yellow covers.

@lemmus I know nothing about Penguin Books except they have cute 🐧 on the cover.

Hmm, looks like every book by Reclam gets a solid boost!

@bouncepaw The English company, Gollancz, published a ground-breaking series of high quality science fiction novels, including the first hardback edition of William Gibson's Neuromancer, and they all featured yellow covers and no illustration.

I was asked to share some yellow examples. From top left clockwise:

Dixon — After Man (fun)

Darwin — On the Origin of Species (gotta continue reading it, I will not add bookmarks anymore)

Standage — An Edible History of Humanity (currently reading this one along with a green book, so fun!)

An old NatGeo issue I got in the wrong place

Leskov — Lefty (awesome illustrations)

Hesse — The Glass Bead Game, Siddhartha + Journey to the East (vibe)

Dorren — Babel (dropped, got bored)

8 books, mostly in Russian. All covers are mostly yellow. See the text.
