The Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer: Every Cover Of Every Edition

There are over 20 different editions and translations of the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer by Jennifer Lynch. Here's an attempt to collect all their covers.
This post was published a while ago. Please keep its age in mind and if you find any errors, feel free to comment.

Written by David Lynch’s then 22-year-old daughter, Jennifer Lynch, the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (Amazon) was published on September 15 in 1990 right before the second season premiere of Twin Peaks in the U.S. More than 20 different editions and translations were released since then. Here’s an attempt to collect all their covers.

UPDATE: We’re actively pursuing to have the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer turned into an audio book narrated by Sheryl Lee. Please show your support!

    No Polish cover? 😉

  2. Arne-Ingar Hansen says:

    You forgot the Norwegian cover…

  3. blankette says:

    You got the Finnish cover right! I’m from Finland and I’ve always wondered why the cover of “Laura Palmerin salainen päiväkirja” is green when on the tv show it was red (and the non-secret diary was green).

  4. Arne-Ingar Hansen says:

    It’s called “Laura Palmers Hemmelige Dagbok” in Norwegian, and was released by Tiden in 1991.

  5. The Log says:

    I have the original. The Bob told me where to find it.

  6. Fred says:

    The Greek one is missing too!

  7. Clara Brown says:

    WHERE CAN I BY THIS BOOK?
    I had it before the summer, but lost it while I was out traveling, and im desperate to get a new one!
    Please help!

  8. Charlotte says:

    Danish one is missing too…tried to look it up on google pics so i could link it but its a no-show…so guess it will be hard to find.

  9. Shynix says:

    the french softcover one

  10. Yuki says:

    I’ve got the Dutch version! Bought it two years ago secondhand since it isn’t available any other way but it made me understand Laura much better!

  11. Jack says:

    I assumed this was the cover all the 2011 editions had. Now I guess this the UK exclusive cover?

  12. Michael Burbach says:

    Was the book originally published in paperback or hardcover?
