I bought this edition and my sister said 'oh it looks cute' as she had no idea what's inside and I am happy to say that it fulfilled its design interpretation.
Bit of a shame the 1st UK paperback, from Pan Books doesn't even get a passing mention (since you did show the hardback 1st). Great video though for this iconic book👍
Huh. That's so peculiar that almost all authors whose works have been adapted by Kubrick ended up loathing Kubrick's version. If I'm not mistaken, Stephen King also despised Kubrick's The Shining and felt that his book was misrepresented. And I'd consider King himself as a person who's not evem particularly picky or restrictive in regards to art that's been derived from his literary works. Now I've only just learned that Burgess himself also disliked Kubrick's adaptation.
Pretentious. Really don't like this cover to this iconic book at all. It's too simple, too taoist even. Reflects nothing of the heart of the story. When I see it I think of eastern philosophy. The explanation sounds like a lot of hot air. This is a miss, YES you do need to do more. When I need to relax and I'll stare at this orange dot on the wall in a yoga class. Give me the horror, give me the droogs, give me something...
Not a fan of any of the Kubrick inspired art or minimalist takes. I read the book having only seen Andy Warhols clockwork inspired art film and as a result the book triggered far better imagery in my imagination. I wish the imagery associated with this novel was more grungy, incendiary and chaotic. I feel even the text itself falls short of what I wish it was.

Nice. More videos about cover design, please.
"A Clockwork". And the image of an orange. Amazing creativity.

Excellent content. Please make this a regular thing for 21!

Love this idea for a video series!
It seems that Jonathan had something else on, the weekend that he was supposed to be designing the new cover for A Clockwork Orange.

I have two editions (the glass of milk & the orange on white).
Thank you for the information.
This is great. I’d love to see more of these videos!
1984 would be a good one
Don't care for the cover. I like my copy from the 70s.
'Barry Trengove', who designed the 1962 cover, was the artist Barry Trengrove. It's a pity that his name has been garbled.
Bought two copies :) one to read and one to display
I love it.
The latest cover misdirects.
The Pelham cover is the best design not least because it has no orange init
Love the video
♡
Oh dear. We’re no british narrators available Penguin ?
Well this new cover definitely has the orange but lacks the mechanized dehumanization.
I had the 1962 version
What was the bad design of the cog-eyed droog?

The recent one looks like garbage. Biased much?
The movie, while brilliant, missed the point of the novel by not including the original ending
A lesson in postmodern pretentiousness.
