De gustibus non est disputandum. There's no accounting for taste.

Where's Waldo?
Hell hath no fury like a cover artist apparently told to capture a scene from each chapter of the book! Yikes! There is so much going on in this picture that I'm too tired from looking at it to read the book!
This really reminds me of a Star Trek: New Frontiers (I think) novel cover I saw once. There's nothing like seeing an alien guy on different alien world with weird moons and a starship in orbit, plus a futuristic pistol/phaser and an old-school broadsword. Bring on the confusion.
I worked in a public library. I saw literally thousands of books every week; the good, the bad, and the truly hideous. These are the covers from the latter category. Joining me (Maughta) is the ever-popular pinch hitter (and handy husband) DocTurtle.

WAY too much crap on the cover. Sheesh.
Steve: "Okay, Bill, I have five options for this cover." *shows options*
Bill: "Hmm, they're all good. Ah, what the hell. Just combine them all into one cover."
Love it!
I would like to present you with the Honest Scrap Award!
