Interesting.

Maggie, I love your German cover. Es sieht so schön aus! I bet a lot of people pick it up.

Owl:
Maggie, I also love your German cover!

I've noticed the same, pretty stock photo used on a book cover and on an ad in a magazine. I hope the book readers aren't the same market as the ad customers.

I think so too! I couldn't believe it started life as a photo.

There's a debut in 09 whose stock photo from her cover has been spotted on a big cling-on ad on the front door to a walgreens. And I happen to LOVE her cover.

Lee Child's books always have lame covers, and he's huge. Linda Howard's covers tend to suck as well, now that I'm thinking about it. But if it's not just a budget thing or a YA thing, I don't know what that leaves. Lack of time? Laziness? Fate? Some mixture of all the above?
