Is it just me, or is the guy at the back a little odd looking. Are those legs his? Was he once the unfortunate victim of a monstrous magician’s failed ‘sawing a man in half’ trick?

His knees appear to be in a wrong place. Looks like all of the clothes were pasted on.

Why have the 1800s ship in the background if you are just going to paste randomly-constructed paper dolls all over the image?

As the flag indicates, it is a case of CYC- Cover Your Clipper.

And is the man at the front playing pocket billiards whilst staring at ‘Jacky’?

How hard can it be to find actual full complete people that you don’t need to dress up like paper dolls?

The “Belt Buckle” Gang was notorious in later years for kidnapping B-List celebrities like Grant Imahara and making them sad sad sad.

Lol, he’s sad alright – he can’t believe the awfulness of that girl’s pasted-on leather waistcoat either!

Is the guy in blue a photobombing? He’s the only on not in a black vest or showing his belt buckle. With that empty stare, it seems that he is having second thoughts about walking into the middle of this cover.

This cover inspires me to think about going to amazon.co.uk, click on Clothing, New Arrivals in Spring Fashion, and cut’n’paste new outfits for the book cover paper dolls models. But does this cover inspire others to buy the book?

Published 2011, 438 pages, in Kindle, Hardcover, Paperback. The blurb says “… It is 1951 …” Jacky ex WWII commando sergeant with her own spec ops team on a yacht. Yep, those resemble 1951 styles especially for people on an undercover mission where you don’t want to draw attention, when stealth is the word. In 1951 novels special operator James Bond dressed like the sales rep for Universal Exports.
