Finally, a cover that doesn't look like porn. Too bad about the contents -- I think they cannot be salvaged.
But I can't help but wonder if the publishers are tightening the reins a little, wanting it to look more crimey and less like naked women's tinted body parts. Given LKH's deserved reputation, I wonder if they are trying to rope in a different audience than teenagers and embittered divorcees, or just maintain their dignity.
(Although I gotta say, I would HATE that cover on any normal book -- so grimy)
