[QUOTE="DrBloodmoney, post: 1783740, member: 24699"] Hi all, My first post here. Followed a link that Neil posted over at [url]www.malazan.com[/url]. Just wanted to say that on a good number of webforums that I hang out at for Sf/F books, most of the members had purchased the Malazan books from overseas. I have imported all of them so far, and will probably continue to do so until the US publication catches up to them. That being said, I did buy [B]Gardens of the Moon[/B] in HC (despite the horrific cover-art) and will continue to buy the rest in HC as well (because I'm a HC junkie). But the cover-art really might be hurting sales. I personally can't stand it. But I generally find that I like the UK cover art much more than the US anyways. Much less cartoony and Darrell Sweet-ish. I tend to appreciate the more understated look on my books. Like the recent Bakker hit (thank God Tor didn't pick him up and screw up the Canadian cover-art) [B]The Darkness that Comes Before[/B]. Overlook did a good job of keeping that nice art when they published in America. I wonder why Tor couldn't do that as well. [/QUOTE]
