[QUOTE="neg, post: 1764151, member: 4431"] [b]Covers?[/b] Hey Neil- Heh, I just ordered some Erikson books from you this morning. I can recommend Clarksworld Books on customer service. I had a slight payment problem, emailed, and Neil got right back to me. On a Saturday no less! Any way, I hear the cover issue. Truly I do not think that the first cover, Gardens of the Moon U.S. Edition, was THAT bad. :heh: Seriously, I think it will make for an attractive mass market, and hopefully the casual browser will take a chance. I do think that some of the older fans are wanting to find some identifable characters on the covers. And I don't disagree that they might have some trouble finding that on the covers of the U.S. Editions. However, I don't think the first cover is truly horrible, rather I think it works toward getting the casual browser to take a look at it. Especially when it gets to mass market. Now, with that said, I do have some difficulty with the forthcoming cover for Deadhouse Gates. I actually prefer the British cover for this title, and I wish we would go with it personally. Nothing personal against the artist who put time and effort into the cover, but I think the British cover captures this book particularly well. I am not thrilled with the next few British covers personally. I don't think a new cover treatment for the U.S. Editions of those books is necessarily a bad thing. But too much discussion about the covers, I would rather get people to read the content of the book than dwell on the cover. Maybe the age old adage "Don't judge a book...." applies here. I hope people pick up a discounted hardcover (available now) or a mass market of Gardens of the Moon in Jan '05. You won't regret it. -neg [/QUOTE]
