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)

Yes, they can change cover art. When they first showed the cover of George R. R. Martin's A feast For Crows on Amazon it was a gorgeous cover with a knight on horseback. When the book was finally released, it was entirely different (and nowhere near as attractive).

So who knows? Maybe we will get a semi-naked person once again when all is said and done...
