Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 8.50 out of 10)

    Early attempts at creating the Swiss Army Frog were less than successful.

    Is this book a Jodie Whittaker reference?

    Well, now I know where the cover artists go when they’re fired from Baen.

    Isn’t that the card game we used play – we called it “MixMax” – where you have to match various body part pictures with each other?

    A stepladder, a jar opener, and a vibrator.

    None of which will stare at you like this thing does.

    (Kidding. At least for the men of GSS.)

    This must be the little-known and less-popular Mr. Potato Head Expansion Playset. “Now with animal parts! Sold separately.”

    Is the strapline giving the original title pasted on crooked? Indeed, is it pasted on?

    @TagW: how about “words words words”.

    @THX: GSS!

    For some reason a German publisher slapped this cover on a Samuel R Delaney book.

    Early reconstructions of Homo Sapiens by future robo-paleontologists were a bit speculative.

    At first I thought is was the same face as dino-rhino from yesterday’s cover!

    @BC: Along with the oil/gas crises of the 70s, SF cover artists also suffered a face shortage.
