Does anyone know which book covers are the original ones? There are so many different styles? Is there a way to tell the difference?

The original covers are awesome aren’t they? I really like perhaps the first 50 or 60 covers. I was always confused by this one though. Kristy and Mary Anne look like two Mary Annes to me. One with braids and one with her hair down. The skirt/dress? Unless I missed something in the story? Sorry if this was already mentioned in another post.

Yeah, Kristy looks like Mary Anne on this cover. I think her personal style just wasn't fleshed out by this point! They knew she didn't care much about fashion so they put her in plain school clothes.

They basically would have whipped up a cool cover for the first book, not knowing the series was going to become huge (1986 seems so long ago now lol). And they wanted it to appear as a real girly series. Perhaps Kristy’s dress is supposed to be a denim dress? And Kristy likes denim. 😀

I headcanon that it was school picture day and Elizabeth had talked Kristy into wearing a dress for the occasion.
I loved Stacey's outfit on that cover. It is iconic and it's one of the few outfits she has that fits the term sophisticated.

I remember how blown away Kristy was by how stylish Stacey dressed in that book |
