For the uninitiated:
An Unfortunate Cover occurs when a less than appealing cover is wrapped around excellent and/or classic book. Take a look at some of the past Unfortunate Cover selections:
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11.
Before we do anything else, I have to ask you something:
Q: What do you call a romance novel cover without the woman?
A:
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.
Really, picking on an Apple Classics cover is akin to shooting fish in a barrel – these are all showing their age at this point. But this one just stood out. Or I should say reverse stood out.
Not only does the mood and setting look straight outta the romance section of your local used book store, but doesn’t this guy bear a striking resemblance to late 80’s tv star Richard Greico (of 21 Jump Street fame)? Or is it just me?
Coincidence?
Covers Week continues tomorrow with a Cover Controversy that will rock the boat. Click here for a full schedule of events.

I strongly disagree, he does not look anything like the Richard Greico.
Richard is very handsome and is the best looking man that came out of the 80’s.

I strongly disagree with you. This guy looks like Richard Greico.

I do not even remember him from 21 Jump Street. Johnny Depp stole my heart–although Holly Robinson was unforgettable, too.
