Good Show Sir Comments: This cover is so shiny that everything looks black unless you photograph it at the right angle. And then you notice that everything is embossed. The title is embossed. The authors are embossed. The car is embossed. The horse head is embossed. The fox-girl is embossed. It’s like bad cover art Braille for the blind.

Bibliomancer’s Art Direction: You spilled your whiskey all over the cover art! No time to redo it. Just sponge it off and get it out the door. It has to be at the printer’s today.
