>>6949301
Maybe, but the covers used to be better, back when the books had the blue spines and borders. They tended just to be old paintings that were in the public domain. I'm frankly baffled by the whole thing. Surely changing the covers to some of these monstrosities would decrease sales? One of these days I'm going to have to write an email to them and ask.
