Art Direction: Look it will just be like every cover you have ever seen but this time… they’re cat people! They’ll have everything a cat would normally have like fuzzy hair, cat mouths, pointy ears but no tails. Tails, I think would be a step too far! We don’t want people to be too embarrassed when they buy it!

SteveAsat Comments: I can overlook an Apple II case with a Commodore PET monitor being used to visually indicate “hey kids, computers!”  And the Escheresque architecture suggesting a suburban three-bedroom rendered in granite.  But how the hell did that cat get up there and why isn’t he sliding off?!

E Comments: According to my husband, his dog chewed up the cover of this book. I think the dog was making a statement. Like why the hell are those people sitting in a hollowed-out asteroid?

Ian Comments: This is not a terrible cover – it quite accurately depicts the book’s contents. It’s the UK edition cover. The US cover follows..

Ian comments: This is what the US publisher used for the book. It is, incidentally, a steampunk space opera, with Victorians in space.
Both were published in 1993

Stevie Comments: Samuel Delaney’s Neveryona is so-over-the-top hetero soft porn.  And the lead character is supposedly gay!  What a bubble butt he’s got!  I wish I had one of those! And what’s he doing with that giant sword, anyway?

Tommi’s Art Direction: A bunch of barely dressed devil-types in a tornado, going after  the barely dressed voluptuous blonde (who probably twisted her ankle just a moment ago and has perfect hair) and a heavily muscled monk (in deranged wardrobe so you can see the muscles … oh and perfect hair).

Many thanks to Tommi!
