Several redesigns in this batch show actual improvement. It’s almost enough to give me a little faith in humanity.

Sins of the Titanic actually matured to look like a real book cover. Good on them.
There is a handful of improvements, but The Elusive Highlander ain’t one of ’em. The change clearly wasn’t good for his health, and now he’s trying to cut his own head off.
I could swear we’ve seen the “new” cover before. I’m sure this isn’t the first time I’ve tried to figure out how many unrelated images that poor guy is cobbled together from (it’s got to be at least five).
We have. The replacement cover was also featured here.
I find it mind-boggling that the author of “Just Deserts” hasn’t figured out that “desert” means, an arid geographical location, whilst “dessert” means a confection or other food item meant to be a treat, after a meal. Seriously, all these years, and she still hasn’t figured that out? NOBODY told her?
And My Electic Collection is patently going backward.
Actually she has it right, “desert” meaning “that which is deserved.”

Yes, IF she were writing 200 years ago, but that’s been out of the common usage for nearly that long. As she’s been M&B published, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, but…I suspect it’s naught more than a mistake. Her description is so blindingly awful that it’s hard to credit her with knowledge of obscure language usage.
