And as usual, the UK cover art (linked below) seems much superior to the American version, here: http://www.amazon.com/Unseen-Academicals-Terry-Pratchett/dp/0061161705/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235934333&sr=1-7


Dear Gods, why do publishing houses hate on Americans so badly?

I have no idea. In Pratchett's case, I think it might have been the scantily clad ladies on the early books (Moving Pictures, for example) that were deemed unfit for prudish Americans, and after starting out one way they couldn't change halfway in.

No clue, but certainly extends beyond cover art. Chas - 02/09/2009 11:28:35 PM 561 Views
