What bewilders me is how some great books can have loving terrible covers. I'm currently chewing my way through the Honor Harrington series by David Webber, which are all pretty good reads. Not fantasy per say, but oh god the covers. After making a little more money, the second printing cover looked like this:  That's... better? But wait! This puppy just became a NYT best seller! Let's really make this thing pop!  (The background is shiney/foily) That's... the best we're going to do, isn't it? Don't get me started on the hardcover version.

I agree completely on the Honor Harrington novels, they may have wandered off in the later ones but the first few are really good, while the covers are just plain horrendous. I mean really. Webber has nice covers for his other series, but I've been walking around campus with this monstrosity under my arm for the past week.  EEE HEE! Also, apparantly all the spaceships from this series are supposed to look like dildos.
