So Baldwin was all “OMG! A cover that looks like a cover?! With design, and action, and legible type!?!? Oh no, I can’t have that on my brand new I-finally-fixed-a-couple-of-typos editions! Lemme fire up my MS Paint toot sweet!!
Yeah, Ron, that’s kinda cool. Suggests the old movie serials sort of mashed up with comic book art. Pity. Now he’s got, ummm, blue and yellow and a sucky cameo of the guy–seems all Swedish flag-ish.

Oh, jeez. I did the covers for at least two of these books a dozen years ago. Here is one of them: http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1174849121l/446262.jpg
Not much left of it…
Well, it’s certainly better than what Nathan captured above.
Oh yeah, and here is the other one… http://img1.imagesbn.com/p/9781587521560_p0_v1_s260x420.jpg
Again, better than what Mr. Baldwin did to them.

And I see now that this isn’t the first time he decided to get creative with the art http://www.billbaldwin.us/New%20Blue%20Covers/1%20Small%20Helmsman%20Cover.jpg
Can’t you technically do something?
I suppose it depends on his usage rights to the cover.
I know. Actually, I don’t think he has any rights to the cover art.
He should’ve left well enough alone.
Revised AND updated? Good to know.
“Revised and updated” is code for “I finally hired an editor.”
How does a book have a “Director’s Cut Special Edition”?
The word ‘Explosion’ was added 47 times. The word ‘Boobs’ 18, and the word ‘Special’ an impressive 1,819 times!
Just like that. Special Edition!
