Billie Eilish cover album.

Okay, what joker photoshopped a Baen logo on this?

I am a little disappointed that the illustrator left off the horse and the mountain lion in the lineup along the top.
Otherwise, this is a 10 for strong connection to the actual story within the cover. Even if Penric looks a little…pert…here.

Tintin: the Mid-Life Crisis Years.

@Tat: Ha! GSS. He no longer has Snowy around to dog laugh/give him side eye for the new ‘do.

Also, this is one of those covers where you would end up using the entire bag to improve it with googly eyes.

Old Man Tintin and the Unnerving Octuplets.
@Emster: I imagine Captain Haddock would also have something to say on his style choices if he were still alive.

@Ryan: I was scrolling the googly covers, saw Orange is the New Black and my mind immediately went here:

These are actually really good stories, with lots of humor, set in a vivid world. So leave it to GSS’ “favorite” publisher to do a boring, drab cover. One almost longs for bright colors and explosions.
@fred: GSSxn makes the sign of the cross
@Tor: We wish.
@Ryan: Definitely needs the horse and big cat. I guess they were too amusing for this cover. And I had the same thought about the depiction of Penric. He’s not actually…pert. Most of the googly eye covers are improved
@Tat, @Emster: GSS! Yep yep yep.
Anyway, these are definitely worth reading, but get the ebooks which aren’t by this publisher. Tasteful covers (not that it matters in ebook) and no money going to the fashies.

Penric wins his bet that there is too a dafter haircut than a man bun and leaves the hipsters seething angrily behind their landscaped microbeards..

“Yes, I am the author of Lois McMaster Bujold. Just call me National.”

But which nation…??
:-S

“I insist. Mr. National is my father.”
Which country do you think GSS’ “favorite” publisher means? They refuse to acknowledge any other.
That, and you can’t buy their books outside North America…and I’m not sure how excited Canada is about them.

Can’t speak for everyone north of the 49th Parallel, but I do get excited when I spy a book spine with that very special logo and find that the cover does not disappoint… GSS treasure hunting at its best.

Okay, so I need new glasses and better caffeination. Didn’t mean to post so BOLDLY (she said swiftly).
Please replace with “I insist. Mr. Bestseller is my father.”
But I guess the BOLD is appropriate for this publisher, right? Since we can usually hear their covers. Even if this one is tasteful by their standards.
I guess our EU friends have to make due with J’ai Lu.
