>2 GSSex-noob: ye gods. Never mind about the pix, the links work.

ETA and I see you managed to work out how to link to his LT profile.

Putting the photos into my pix here was beyond me; it looks complicated even in your instructions and the summer heat dome has rendered me a Fan of Very Little Brain.

Luckily, linking to his profile was easy since they sensibly give the instructions on the right side of every comment box under Touchstones. Just square brackets needed.

That Assault on the Gods cover is ok, but I like the stray head at the bottom of this one:


And this German cover is, I admit, the most likely to get me to read the book:

>6 bam2001: Which has appeared on GSS!. I remember it being described as a witch doing the poop dance.

Yup, here it is. Note the appearance of Space Sheep.

@bam2001: I knew I recognized it. No poop-dancing witches involved in this book.

@paraxosalpha: That's the cover I had, which has the benefit of being somewhat like the book. (hashtag bubble helmet)

I will tell his widow that other people are "enjoying" the covers. She's a firm believer in the "speaking the name keeps them alive" and she'll be happy.
