A book's cover art plays a big role in its sales. I've been in bookselling almost 40 years, and I've seen covers that left me wondering why the author didn't hop a fast freight to his publisher's office and strangle the art director...slowly. Paul's cover art has generally been very good, with some real beauties (DYDEETOWN WORLD and MIDNIGHT MASS are standouts). Still, with the publishing business as tough and competitive as it is, why not grab for every advantage? The old, dramatic Jack logo was eye-catching. The new one (to my eyes, anyway) just isn't.
