That TOR cover is as awful as a Judges Guild module (and i say that as a fan of poor old JG). Yeah, I don't know how to put links in comments either.The Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636805818054637966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-18372497653948055972014-02-11T09:30:39.167-05:002014-02-11T09:30:39.167-05:00I was just commenting on this myself when I was re...I was just commenting on this myself when I was reading The Swordbearer last month. It is a dark tale - even for Cook. So, the Swanland cover actually conveys the spirit & feel of the tale far better than the old TOR cover. My friend commented that the old TOR cover looked like a D&D module cover from the 1980s.<br /><br />(I tried to put links to the covers, but failed miserably.)Paul R.

Now, buying mostly e-books I don't even really pay attention to the covers of what I buy. Dread Empire is a pretty fun series. Definitely worth checking out.The Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636805818054637966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-27402580295292127522014-02-06T23:12:32.649-05:002014-02-06T23:12:32.649-05:00It turns out most publishers aren't experts on...It turns out most publishers aren't experts on what sells, either. If they were, they would only publish best sellers.<br /><br />I've not read this series, but I've got it. It's been too long since I read Glen Cook. I need to read him again.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.com
