A Song for Arbonne was first published in 1992. It has since been translated into many languages. Many foreign language editions used the same covers as English language editions; I present here covers that display varied artwork only. Click on a cover to see a larger image.

UK edition. The first cover is the hardback edition, the second is the first paperback edition. Note the subtle differences. The hardcover has the elfin figures around the title. At GGK’s request, these were changed for the trade paperback to more appropriate images and the figure of the priestess was refined and made more ‘finished’. UK paperback edition, first major rejacketing. Artist: John Howe. Pub: Harper Collins/Voyager

Dutch reprint edition of A Song for Arbonne. The name was changed from Een Lied Voor Arbonne to Een Lofzang Voor Arbonne because apparently Lofzang is a ‘better’ word for ‘song’ in the context of praise or an ode (it means pipe, literally).
