Most covers only hint at cleavage. Where we will succeed will be in the tactic of placing an actual topless women on the cover! Riding horse back along an alien desert. Oh, and she is being lead by a sort of Apache Indian bloke with an extremely long sword. And yes, I mean a literal sword.
Thanks to Craig!

What is the women using the whip for? It doesn’t seem long enough to hit the dude, and surely hitting the horse would just annoy it.

…. there’s even a naked horse! ooooooh yeaaaaaah!
I love the illusion that the horse is floating about 10cm off the ground

Made me think of Avatar for some reason. A poo-brown avatar rather than a blue one but Avatar nonetheless.
Perhaps this would look better in 3D too. And with more tails on the people and legs on the horse.

It is called Flight to Opar (why is it that only the last word in the title is underlined). That obviously refers to the flying habits of the local horses.

Apparently both this and its predecessor, Hadon of Opar, had different covers for different editions, at least one version of which for each had a bare breasted woman on it. Personally, I think this one has much better jugs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0879976373/ref=dp_otherviews_0?ie=UTF8&s=books&img=0

Hmmm..it also appears, from this: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pjfarmer.com/bimages/fto2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.pjfarmer.com/ftothumbs.htm&usg=__VcjLrCTyy1WtM8HjXiHnNeH45io=&h=521&w=308&sz=50&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=eebz2aSeWBV3tM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=77&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dflight%2Bto%2Bopar%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1%26ie%3DUTF-8 that the jugs are a British adaptation. That’s why there’ll always be an England.

The first one is pretty bad. It just goes to show that maybe both the stupidly long sabre and the the naked chick are actually important story points.
The British one looks likes for a totally different story though

We have our traditions, yes.
