Curious about what the 2012 books look like / what the cover art is this year? Me too! Just thought I’d share! 2012 CFA Level II Volumes Stacked Together https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9u8XPHCFHTJZTUwNzY0YzUtNTlhNS00ZDdlLTk1ODMtZTM0N2FmOTBiZWVj&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 2012 CFA Level II Volume 1 Cover https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9u8XPHCFHTJYmZjMDdkN2QtYTRkNS00NjIwLTgwODQtYjBlZTQxNmExOTA0&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 2012 CFA Level II Volume 2 Cover https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9u8XPHCFHTJOWQ5MjBiMzMtYjJiMS00MWZmLWIxMjYtZGI1ZTBjZTY3ZjUz&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 2012 CFA Level II Volume 3 Cover https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9u8XPHCFHTJZjY2ZjM3ZGYtMTY4ZS00NmNmLWI3Y2ItYjczMmRlOGZiNDJk&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 2012 CFA Level II Volume 4 Cover https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9u8XPHCFHTJNjJkODYxNDMtYWZjYS00OGUzLTlkZjMtODk5N2ZhNWY0YzNm&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 2012 CFA Level II Volume 5 Cover https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9u8XPHCFHTJMGRmMjcyYzctNWM0Ny00Yzc0LTllZmItY2JhNmMwNzFkYzcw&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 2012 CFA Level II Volume 6 Cover https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9u8XPHCFHTJMDY3ODczN2EtMTAyOS00ODE3LTk3MjYtNzdhZjA2MWMzM2E1&sort=name&layout=list&num=50
These look much better than 2011 covers.
Can someone list out name of the cities displayed in the pictures of these books?
I just called the photographer and he told me to speak to CFAI. I’ll give them a call in the morning and see if we can get a list of the cities from the covers.
Wouldn’t it be more impressive if we could, amongst ourselves, identify the cities without the help of the CFAI? I’m sure that we are a well travelled bunch.
3 is too easy 4 is Beirut maybe ? 5 is Taipei / Shanghai? 6 is some Australian city ? 2 seems to be a large city with a shore and hills; its not SFO and not Istanbul or Cape Town, so i will guess Hong Kong ?
Number 5 - Equity Book is downtown Mumbai. Most likely a picture taken from Air India Building of the main promanade called Marine Drive.

You are right; i didnt check the flow of traffic that well. Is that road called the Queens necklace or something like that?
#2 is difinitely Hong Kong, the structure on the water is the ferry terminal.
No 1 is Frankfurt (Main Square) 4 and 6 still missing.
I agree, although it is the same photographer. Personally, I prefer the patterns from 2009’s books. zestzorb Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > These look much better than 2011 covers.
- Frankfurt 2) Agree, Hong Kong 3) London 4) Mumbai 5) Shanghai - that’s the Jin Mao Tower in the foreground: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Mao_Tower 6) ??? Chicago?
Volume 4 - Equity - is Mumbai. I searched for ‘Marine Drive’ on Google Images and similar pictures popped up. When varang said ‘number 5’ I think he meant link#5 (but book volume 4). Volume 1 - Ethics is Romer Sqaure/Main Square in Frankfurt. Vol 5 - Alt Investments and Fixed Income - is Taipei So, Volume 6 is missing
wow Mumbai !! my city 
funny is even after seeing the equity book, i failed to identify, shame on me. 
I got Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London and Shanghai, as I have been there and seen those buildings.
I think 6 might be sao paulo
where is 6?
6 is Sydney Australia.
I can see my apartment building in book 5.
