James Hilton - Ill Wind
Avon Books (4), 1942 (left), 1943 (right)
Cover Artist: Pol
Avon began publishing paperbacks in 1941, The 1st 41 books in the Avon series were unnumbered. Avon started numbering with #42 in 1944 which happened to be James Hilton's 'The Passionate Year'.
The copy on the left is the 2nd printing. The 1st printing was in 1941 and had 'Globe endpapers', but had the same cover art. However, in 1943 'Ill Wind' was printed a 3rd time, but this time, inexplicably, without the stagehand in the lower left corner. Maybe the editor thought it made the cover more aesthetically pleasing and a little less 'busy'?
In 1950 Avon Books did something rather uncommon: they published a book with two variant covers simultaneously. The book in question is Avon 272 - Europa by Robert Briffault and the covers couldn't be more different.
The one on the left is known as the "Map Variant" and the one on the right is know as the "Bondage Variant". The "Map Variant" was reused by Avon in 1955 for "Confessions of a Princess" and the "Bondage Variant" was reused in 1957. No one is quite sure why Avon issued variant covers. Perhaps they distributed the "Map Variant" to more "sensitive" areas of the country? My "Bondage Variant" is a Canadian edition.
Cover artist for both variants is Raymond Johnson

In November, DC Comics released a number of variant covers featuring our favorite characters in their LEGO forms to promote LEGO Batman 3! I just had to have some for my collection.
Some are available for sale/trade. (My immediate thought is that I really want the Iron Fist minifig, among other things.)
