Can you recognize all the titles from the cover illustrations?
Lots are pretty obvious, but I struggled with the top right cover for a second or two!
Some of these covers have got me thinking!
I definitely recognize at least one of these!
Some interesting name changes.

Re: Malaysian Famous Five Editions
Thanks for posting these, Pete. I'm struck by the name changes too, as names like Eddie and Dean seem no more Malaysian than Julian and Dick!
It's interesting that some of the covers are basically the British ones but with the characters being given darker skin and black hair, e.g. LIMA Sekawan Di Pulau Pusaka (Five on a Treasure Island). Other colours in the picture have been altered as well.
