XXIII. It really smacks of 'old school' with a cutting edge. Love the solitary figure on the edge of a new adventure. Reminds me of Heinlein.<BR/>So many book covers are similar these days so it takes a special one to stand out. A non sci-fi book cover which grabbed my attention and led to me reading the trilogy and eventually into correspondence with the author was the cover for "Knights of the Cross" story by Tom Harper (American Version not UK) artist unknown.<BR/>Here's a link to the Martiniere cover<BR/>http://randallensley.blogspot.com/2008/03/cover-art-by-stephen-martinierre.htmlRandall Ensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537256358169191756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-29661008867304715862008-03-26T01:06:00.000-04:002008-03-26T01:06:00.000-04:00I must admit - unless the book is by someone I alr...I must admit - unless the book is by someone I already know & love - the sole reason I buy a SF book is the cover. If the cover doesn't grab me, and the book is by someone I don't know, then I'll never "see" the book on the shelf.<BR/><BR/>Martiniere's and Picacio's covers always grab me. And there are certain artists whose work I definitely dislike and when I see a book with their art, I completely ignore the book.ceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228169390182512752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-27994417577611001022008-03-26T00:53:00.000-04:002008-03-26T00:53:00.000-04:00Interesting to read your thoughts on this.

It sounds like you truly have a middle of the road opinion and that it is a good one: if the cover looks good, is laid out well and presented well then it matters not so much if it is a retread of familiar themes or something entirely different. I certainly have that approach. While I love a good Martiniere sci fi cover, I am also impressed by more graphic design elements like the recent Spaceman Blues cover. I like to see a mix of different ideas. I think the school of thought that says that we have to shy away from more traditional sci fi/fantasy imagery on book covers is a bit silly. I don't see it as a detriment to book sales. I think science fiction and fantasy will always struggle with being 'genre fiction' because of its labels, not its covers and I'm not sure a striving for 'legitimacy' is a good way to spend one's time. I love fantasy and science fiction and find it legitimate and relevant. I promote that on my own site and amongst those I come in contact with. If I can hand someone a copy of a good, entertaining story who is open minded enough to give it a try, the cover isn't going to put them off, it is the content. I personally think we have the best of both worlds regarding cover illustration right now because we have artists like John Harris and John Berkey and others producing 'old school' book illustration that is every bit as cool today as the first time their work graced a book cover and we have newer artists creating a whole range of fantasy and science fiction covers in many different mediums which produced a great variety of results. Spectrum is a perfect example of just how wonderful book illustration is right now. It is a good time to be a book lover.Carl V.
