rowana posted this in the Conspiracy Room--David Wyatt's cover of QoA, showing the front and back of the book.  Go here, then click on children's books, then at the top of the page click on the drawing of Attolia in her green dress.

So is this a British edition? Or are they changing the cover for the paperback for some reason? In which case I'm assuming they'd change all three so they'll match. I have to say, I like the current US hardback cover much better.

It's the older British edition. I'd never seen the back with the shadow of the curved sword.

Ahhhh, thank you.

That's my copy's cover!

And did you see how many other fantastic authors he's illustrated for...DWJ, Alan Garner, Pratchett...

Checkers, where do you get all your Vorkosigan icons? Do you make them yourself?

The other one I nicked. This one I made. Feel free to nick it.

I do love that word. Thanks, Ro.

Nick? Um...you're welcome? You guys don't use that word in the US?

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Nope. I knew what it meant, but have never actually heard anyone use it. :)

Well, that's not at all creepy. Beautiful as hell, but creepy.

Very cool! It certainly would give parents the head's up that Queen is a bit more intense than Thief (that seemed to be a major complaint about the book). I love the font he has! I wonder if he has any calendars out ...

I love the font he has!

Yes, I noticed that, too. Very nice.
