When you think about it, you start to realise that there are a high ratio of left-handed characters on covers.. I assume that its because almost all paintings show right-handed characters, and that some images have been flipped before being put on the cover.The book put some interesting things about how most people look at images - the majority of people focuses on the left part of the image first.Case in point: Both Dungeonscape and Cormyr features lefthanded characters.  By (presumably) flipping the images left-right, you make the image focus on the beholder (dungeonscape) and the onrushing horde of lizardfolk (Cormyr). Try imagine how the mirror images would look. If one goes through book covers (and interior images), I'm sure you'll find a lot of (probably?) flipped images.. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Just some interesting food for thought.  Several of these covers are great! Barrow of the Forgotten King and Dungeonscape in particular.</blockquote>
