 I visited a used bookstore today looking for a few things and I picked up these two books just because they look so great. It got me to thinking about what a great legacy of cover art we have in the science fiction world. It's like nothing else. I know we're not supposed to judge books by their covers but we all do it. I mean that's what covers are for. And in the history of science fiction publishing cover art has become a historical legacy all its own. People who don't read science fiction are really missing out. I mean look at these amazing books and these are just what I have sitting near my desk.
