Green is one of my favorite colors. Books are one of my favorite objects. Of course I'm drawn to green book covers! (Yes, I judge books by their covers.) Here are a few of my favorite green (and green adjacent) book covers.

    Several of those books look interesting! I remember when "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" came out and for the longest time I didn't want to read it because they had different colored covers and I thought that was tacky. It's one book I've read three times!
