Ryan Comments: I don’t think that the blurb writer understands how time works. And the illustrator has some interesting ideas about what occurs underwater.
Tag Wizard: And that brings Ryan Week to an end here at GSS. Thanks for the mother lode of covers.

Bibliomancer went to Greece and GSS didn’t even get a lousy tau-shirt. But we did get a bunch of terrible Greek book covers. I’ll turn this post (and week) over to him:
I come from Greece bearing gifts! So don’t look a Trojan Horse in the mouth. Athens has a big chain store called “Public” which is a combination of Barnes & Noble and Best Buy with a whole large floor of new books in Greek and English. Athens also have a few “charming” used book stores in some of the older neighborhoods. Here’s the inside view of one of them:
So here are some terrible covers, Greek-style. Sorry, but we will have to skip the authors, cover artists and publication dates. Be kind to Tag Wizard:
Bibliomancer Comments:
1. Rising sea levels were not kind to Venice.
2. Who knew Ghandi collected Barbies?
3. Black Hawk up, Black Hawk down!
4. Ce n’est pas un primate.
5. Dracula in the language Prince Vlad would have understood.
