Nathan, I hate to disagree with you, but I don’t object to this at all. The byline could be done better, but…why the hate?

The cover would not be bad for, say, Dominated by My Billionaire Dinosaur Boss (we haven’t had one of those covers in a while, is the genre extinct?)

Looking at this book’s Amazon page, full blurb, that cover is the worst case of * false flagging in a long time. It does not advertise the content. The cartoon is a joke: the author regards himself as a dinosaur practicing old school F&SF. The book would be better served by an illustration of any one of the stories.

Yeesh. Like Naaman said, that is some seriously egregious false-flagging. The stories themselves don’t sound bad (based on the description) but come on.

It’s also a really crummy-looking dinosaur and that bugs me.

Well, guys, I’ll defer to you, as I didn’t bother to see if it was false-flagging or not. I just didn’t hate the cover, that’s all.

The cover would be better for a different book. It’s just does not say classic F&SF.

A children’s book cover, definitely not sci fi. I like sci fi, but would give this a miss, as it looks like a kiddie joke book.
