Top Ten Book Spine Malfunctions/Pet Peeves

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

So I have this slight obsession with how a series looks together on my shelf, I like them to match perfectly. But quite often there are little things that keep series from looking uniform. Here are ten of the ones I see the most and that bother me. I have pictures of examples from my shelves but this in no way reflects my opinion of the books themselves!

 When a series has been republished several times so you end up with a hodge-podge of editions.

 When two books aren't a series but are connected yet their covers don't match.

 When the design is the same it's just not the same size on all of the books.

When all of the books are not the same size.

 When you have some in paperback and some in hardback.

 When one book just doesn't match the others and for no apparent reason.

 When some of the books are mass market and the others aren't.

 When the publisher changed the design after the first book came out.

 When an author's books aren't connected yet some match and some don't.

When you have ARC's and normal books.
