Ah, great, thanks, Tony. I'd only seen the Shadow one - yes, these at least are like (say) Moorcock covers and are not bad (still not quite doing justice for me though). Did you by any chance get and/or read these versions when they came out in the (I presume) 80s? I just wonder if that helps give a certain sentimental/nostalgic value (which I would completely understand). <div>
<br></div><div>The Hoof & Hide blog put up a great Flickr photostream of Wolfe covers that include German, Japanese, French and others. A few at least are better than the standard ones we see over and over again: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hoofandhide/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/hoofandhide/</a>. The non-English versions from about page 4 onward are generally FAR better than the English versions.</div>

Hi Daniel,<br>
are you familiar with the bewitching covers Bruce Pennington did for<br>
the first British paperback edition of the New Sun tetralogy?<br>
<br>
If not, these clumsy, long-ago scans I did should give you taste:<br>

The cover for Shadow, in particular, pretty much defines what I see in<br>
my head when I think of Urth.<br>
