AW. A very nice place!
_ _ _ silhouette-like drawing of a woman with a simplistic city backdrop. The buildings are merely dark, irregular rectangles with oranges boxes representing windows. Above them is a large crescent moon. The sky is violet. The title* is low down on the cover about 3/4's of the way. It's in white print. Beneath it is the author's name in blue letters.

A starry night of full moon, in the middle of a pine tree forest. A midget woman is sitting side-saddle on a white stallion strutting like a show horse, holding a tree limb. A giant warrior dressed in a mix of western and eastern armor with dual great swords at his back tries to reign in control of his black stead that is probably try to buck the man off because they are the same size, but he's twice the weight. And some doofus, the same size of his horse, is watching the scene of the giant man and midget woman try to ride their horses over the crazy ground that appears vapidly rolling like waves of water. The title is gold and eye-bleeding red across the top, with Tor prices on the bottom right. On the very top and very bottom, there seems to be comments of the story, unrelated to the actual story and seem shaky at best.

It's a photo of a sparse woods with a carpet of green foliage with yellow flowers. A person (I can't tell male or female), seen from the person's 4 o'clock position wearing all white is walking through the flowers holding a red umbrella. The title and author name are in white or light yellow, and the size and font of the text is the same.

An illustration of a red alligator crawling along against a plain white background. The alligator's scales are drawn as a triangular Native American style pattern. The title, author's name and a quote of critical praise have all been written by hand in jagged black text and set in almost random positions; curling around the side of the gator rather than above/below it.

A blue to white gradient with beveled, gold text and a dark blue illustration of a swords hilt in the center. The sword is also beveled.

Dark grey plastic with the words 'Amazon Kindle' at the top. ;)

One of the few things I don't love about the kindle is the way it opens the book at the first page of text and forces you to go out of your way to look at the cover.
