I like the illustration, except for those annoying yellow smudges… Where’s the text?

It’s not an illustration, it’s a filter on a photo that looks like it might be a screencap from Lord of the Rings.

But I can’t figure out that hilt and/or the hand. It looks confusing, I don’t even know what I’m looking at. I wish I could see the original image.

Is that supposed to be a sword above his face??? If so, then those yellow smudges must be an ooze that is causing it to melt. And if it is a sword, then its grip is either terrible deformed or being held by a terribly deformed hand.

The “engraving” on the sword reads:

LANCEOT’S CHALLANGE
LANCELOT’S BURDEN
LANCELOT’S CURSE

I guess the spell checker couldn’t read it, either.

Typos on the cover predict … meticulous care taken in the editing of the text by a publisher who cares about and respects their author and the readers.

Well that yellow text certainly REPRESENTS all three of those subtitles!

Wow, it’s so hard to read that Nathan didn’t even see the typo. Hey, housekeeping, we need another tag over here!

Since you’re offering… I’d ask you to do something about that puke stench that lingers around the place, but I guess people just can’t help loosing their lunch on some of these covers. Air fresheners?

“So… let’s open the Shoop… First, we take a picture of Aragorn. Then, we take a picture of some prop sword and copy-pasta that right there. Looks good, but it’ll look even better if we run a crappy filter over it! Now, put some impossible to read yellow text on it… BOOM! Book cover! And people go to school for this crap. Pfff.”
