(urth) Words and Such art

[James Wynn]

His short story collections typically are better, but I agree that none 
are as good as this.
Probably, the collections are not as bad because Tor doesn't expect to 
make a lot of money off them and so the Art Director did not get 
involved. Wolfe claimed that expectations of increasing sales is the 
reason the covers of The Book of the New Sun volumes got worse with each 
release.
