    Our Book of the Week feature is now 2 years old! To celebrate we're giving away all 52 books from the past year to one lucky winner.

    The design team here at The Book Depository was looking for a new challenge, so we asked them to have a stab at designing some new jackets from our Book of the Week list in a minimalist style. They came up with these eight. We think they're rather handsome.

    All you need to do is discover which eight book covers we've taken the liberty of redesigning. To help we've listed all 52 along with bigger versions of our covers on a separate page.

    We hope you've enjoyed our feature. Here's to many happy returns!

    Competition closes on Monday November 5, midnight GMT. Good luck!

    Update: There is currently an issue with the confirmation of entries. Please note that your entry is recorded even if you don't receive the confirmation message after you submit it. No entries have been lost. We are working on resolving this issue -- apologies for any inconvenience caused.

    Update 6/11/12 -- winner: Stavros Plymakis

    Correct answers:

    1. In the Shadow of the Sword 2. La Roja 3. LEGO Batman the Visual Dictionary

    4. Palladio 5. Everything Alice 6. The Dinner 7. In Defence of Dogs

    8. Mind Magic and Mentalism For Dummies

      I got them all correct as well, but not lucky enough to win. Congratulations to the winner. Great contest - had to read, think and, for one - #4, research.

      My No. 8 was wrong. I can't believe I've managed to solve the hard ones, but not the obvious one. :D Congrats to the winner!

      Yay...I got them all right, too. But, I have to admit, it wasn't easy for me at all. I definitely had to think some of the answers through. I had an awful lot of fun and found out about some books I otherwise wouldn't have done. Thank you to The Book Depository and congratulations to the winner, Stavros Plymakis.

      Fingers crossed my entry went through! I'm assuming the problem listed here with 'no confirmation' is that there is no confimation screen? Hoping so!!

      Really a nice competition but extremely hard. Hopefully the answers will be there after the 5th of November. I'm curious if I was right. I think number 5 was hard. Only one I'm not sure off..we will see!

      Thank you very much for this giveaway, it is just perfect and so interesting! It seems that many people had problems with the number 4, for me it was the first one to be solved, I knew what it was the moment I saw it, probably because I was taught a lot about that kind of stuff back at highschool (I`m from Europe). I also haven`t received the confirmation yet, but I`m waiting (maybe I`ll enter the 2nd time). Good luck, everyone! :)
