I'm not a fan of this cover... it's just weird. I don't like the art, title font or the colours. It says nothing about the plot, and just isn't very interesting. I'm glad they decided to reprint with the apple cover, which is the only version available now. What do you think?

I think it's good that it's difficult to get a hold of; it's rather disturbing! Bella looks anorexic and like she should be in a badly-animated film. It also gives me the impression that she's a ghost or something!
I like the lockers, but that's about it.
Wow, that's really interesting. I wonder if the cover designer had read the book? Doesn't have the right feel at all. Weird color pallet.
I think that it is very ugly.
It looks very Coraline-ish or Neil Gaiman-ish. Strange. I still don't get why there are different covers for US/Canada/UK/Australia!
That cover is so weird! The girl looks like she's made of wax! I'm so glad they changed it to the apple.
That cover looks pretty cool
wow, it's crazy how it's hard to get a hold of now
That cover looks really weird. I wouldn't buy it.
I remember this cover. I don't think the girl looks anything like I'd ever picture Bella! The apple cover is miles better, I think.

Thats exactly what I thought of when I saw the cover! Coraline!!!! I like the original b etter
Wow, that cover is so... Un-Twilight like o-o
Wow... that is... weird. I'm mildly disturbed now.
haha it's so ugly, and weird. I'm happy they changed it, because I wouldn't have bought the book if the cover looked like that..
I have this one. bought it years ago before it was big
Even tho i think it is meant to be bella it looks more like alice on the front to me?
That's the cover i have it in in hard back, and am now wondering if it's actually worth any money seeing as its so hard to get hold of, not that i;d ever sell it, it's my baby! It does look odd though next to the other three though.
Weird!
It looks akward, imagine the other three!!! No apple, flower, ribbon, or chess piece! A frien of mine has it; I had never seen it though.
I loved this cover, it is moody, evocative and romantic and poignant, it's actually the reason i bought the book in the first place, back in 2005.
that's the cover i got when i brough the book in australia in 06
cover i got when it cam out in australia, i love it. its not as good as the apple but its unique and its better then the movie cover version
The copy in my school library had that cover. I absolutely loathe it.
Not the best ever ....though not surprised it costs smth.
Yes, I've got that one. I covet it; but aia don't really care about how much it's worth, as I'd never sell it. I wish I had the New Moon edition too - it's on her website. Guess I'll have to scour a lot of second-hand bookshops...
I read Twilight when I was in Australia last year. It was a copy with the original cover.
Personally I hate the Apple cover along with the covers of the sequels. They're generic and cold and have no allusions to the story or atmosphere. They fit right into the current trend of putting boring, uninspired photographic and vector covers on books. Whatever happened to traditional work?
I prefer the original cover. It took work and is far more striking. It's dreamy and murky, much like the warm, slightly macabre, loved up feeling in the book and the dark rainy feel of Seattle. Bella looks far warmer, and more convincing as a character.
Twilight is set in Washington...
Who is the artist for this cover?
This is the twilight that i bought - i believe its first edition and is autographed by SM (before she became huge in uk/ireland) supposedly there was NM version that was meant to come out - but it doesn't seem to have been printed.
will anyone sell me one that they might not want with the girl on the cover.
If you are willing to sell me one contact me at twilightdance05@yahoo.com thanks
hahahahah
Bella have really spike boobs....
just been googling the 1st twilight book cover and came across this site
id get to the point. i've got one of these 1st edition books that i want to sell in perfect condition. how much do you think its worth? any feedback would be great cheers Mark
Hi Mark, If you still have your copy of the 1st edition of the Twilight book I am very interested. Is it soft or hard cover? Please email me at lorenazanner@gmail.com and let me know what you want for it. Regards, Lorena.
I think it is so bizarre. Like maybe somewhat of a ghost who is unsure of what path to take? I think it's kind of cool because of how weird it is. Haha, but that's just me. The apple cover is a lot better. This UK cover is so hard to take your eyes off of though.
I am interested in selling my copy of this book that i have. I'm in australia.
My book is paperback and it has been covered perfectly with contact (i did this when i first got it to protect the cover) It is in extremely good condition because of the care i took with it.
Please email any offers over $100 AU to
