Nah. That’s the natural contrast between a copper bullet jacket and and brass cartridge casing. They do look like they were tumbled in crushed walnut hulls for polish and shine.
I absolutely, positively, agree that there is truth in advertising. I’m completely behind the Amber Alert. I can envision it now:
“AMBER ALERT: All the taste that should have been used for this book cover is missing and has been for 3,876 hours. We are issuing this LBC Amber Alert in the hopes that you passersby can help us locate the Missing Good Taste. Description:
Good Taste is tall and slender, with her sides taller than her width, by a ratio of 2:3. Last seen wearing a decently-designed cover, in high-contrast colors and beautiful shades of eye-catching tones.
Be careful when approaching Missing Taste. GT, as it is called, is increasingly suffering from parental neglect, and is showing the signs of long-term abandonment, evidenced by careless cut-and-pasting all over the front side coupled with unreadable free fonts. If you see Taste, approach it slowly, with your pens, markers and 1-month Photoshop subscriptions hidden behind your back, lest Taste see them and tear your extended, outstretched arms from your body.
Successful captors can please notify LBC by calling Nathan at 1-800-SHITTASTE.
We thank you for your assistance in locating our long-lost friend, Good Taste.”

I am strangely fascinated by that flag patch over the author’s name. What is that? What’s it for? Why do I care? Why am I asking questions that will never be answered because nobody, not even the cover “designer,” knows what they heck that this is and why it’s there.

One man’s treasure . . .
Has someone applied lipstick, or . . . fingernail polish . . . to those projectiles.

I love this cover. What’s wrong with it?
LMAO
Walking through the local bookstores, I don’t see real book covers that are text and clips in different resolutions pasted on white backgrounds.

it may be a cuban military patch related to the story line, probably one of those you have to have read the book to get it things
