So which of these two characters has got the Horn?

“Just a little thing I like to call… radioactive reiki!”

If that’s a wine cask, maybe the gent’s performing a magical insta-hangover cure. I’m for one of those!
The Library Journal quote is the most blasé I’ve read in many moons. It doesn’t speak well for what’s inside the cover.

However I try, I can’t make her outfit work. Is it chain mail? Is it leather? Is it over or under the brown thing on the top part of her bust? That cuff on her right arm — is it slicing through her elbow?
The guy’s generic nightshirt is a relief by comparison.

Oh… you and your magic hands.

I guess the history part must be the stone walls and black cocktail dress.

You know, I never even noticed the cask behind the woman. Now that it’s been pointed out I can’t shake the feeling that this cover is illustrating medieval date rape.

A little Googling shows that “sleeping people being harassed” seems to be a running theme for the Hound and the Falcon Trilogy: http://starbaseatlanta.com/ebaypics/isleglasshc.jpg

I’d like to see a crossover. The Golden Horn vs. The Third Eagle.

What I love about this cover is that it’s so subtle.

I thought she’d suffered some serious leg wound until I realised she’s wearing something like greaves. But for the life of me I can’t work out what’s happening with the androgynous glowing-hands-person’s lower body. Is that his/her leg out to the right?
October 31st, 2011 at 8:37 am
Muttley, I THINK that’s a leg with a scabbarded sword. My guess is that the sequel shows him pulling out the sword, and it goes TING!

Oh yeah, that’s the spot.

Binge drinking at Rivendell had got out of hand.

I get it now. He’s hypnotizing her so she won’t notice he’s sitting on her feet.

Gavin knew that, if he pushed Marsha down stairs and she died, no-one would suspect it was no accident!
Unfortunately for him, he pushed her downstairs, and so she lived.

She has three arms!

The books tell the story of the elf Alf, who grew up as a monk in a monastery among humans, and how he meets love and comes to terms with who he is. A creepy creep with no pants who creeps on drunk ladies, it would appear.
Also, Alf the elf? Is she named Aerson?Auman? Aaxpayer?

I wonder if she ever collaborated with Leonard Feather.

Is there any explanation for the kitchen knife block in the lower right? It makes me think there is a toaster and a K cup machine just outside the shot.

@Tor: Like they’re in the break room of the castle? Are they gonna xerox their butts later?

Was this book posted before we invented the “font problems” tag?
July 23rd, 2018 at 11:55 pm
@B’mancer: Could be. Although it seems to only have 2 fonts. And the title font isn’t unreadable, though I expect the letters to fall over in a stiff breeze thanks to them being so top-heavy.
Do we have a tag for when the title is on a separate compartment/banner/lozenge/thingy?
