- Speaking of cover art, I think you are lucky if you have managed to
- avoid the poor Delray covers. I personally like more the ones which
- penguin, corgi & bantam books provide.
- I have all my belgariad books with the "original" cover art. Same applys
- to the four first malloreon books. Then all the bookstores in Finland
- started to buy their books from Delray. I just hate it. All those
- nice covers in the 9 first books.. and then the 10th is .. so bad.. And
- onloy because our bookstores became Delray fanatics..
- I never got to see what the 5th Malloreon book cover looked like.. snif!
-
- My Elenium books are from Delray and Grafton. And even if the cover on the
- one published by Grafton isn't very good (but not so bad either), it is
- much more harmonic and balanced than the poor and lifeless pictures Delray
- uses.
-
- This of course is only IMHO, but I thought I'd give my 2 cents worth because
- I am sooooooo disappointed in Delray..

- Very little is
- more worth our time
