That bit in Zardoz was interior decoration, not an idea for a book cover!

“Why is this cover painting for the new Farmer book still on my desk? It was supposed to be at the printer’s by noon.”
“And I can’t find the Polaroids that Beverly took at last night’s orgy!”

Literalism fail: I don’t think to bodies can count as scattered.

It really underscores the importance of proper illumination to fall prevention, though, so there’s that.

This must have been one great photo shoot.

Well, those are certainly scattered bodies…

I nominate this as the laziest cover on this site. And who dares gainsay me?

It needs Shirley Bassey belting out the theme song, co-written by John Barry and John Donne.

Try this: If you blur your eyes, it looks like two naked women floating in space!

A sheeping comes across the sky …

@Tor Mented: Apparently the artist just read the first few pages and said “hey, naked people!”

The cover is both more attractive and trippier with Space Sheep.
@Francis: Agreed. And lopsidedly — there’s plenty of room for another one on the front cover.
@Tor: Not I. We have a number of more hideous covers (including the previous one for this book), but this one certainly took the least effort. I do hope Beverly didn’t get much money for this. The random toy photos, cut and paste splodges, or things drawn by the untalented show much more effort and thought.
@Tat: Goooldsheeper!
