Very true.
While this one is not nearly as bad, but I have original US covers for rest of the books (these ones https://digitalcover.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/asoiaf.jpg?w=402&h=598).). And for this one they changed the style, I am still kinda triggered.

>>10920651
This is pretty bad, but I imagine a book by a Japanese author with "Sun" in the title offers many temptations to the graphic designer, who is, in my imagining, always ready to cash it all in for one more hit from the pipe.

>>10920727
This is good in concept if not in execution, a Where's Waldo style of cover art would fit any of Pynchon's books better than the portentous minimalist covers they're always saddled with.
