The name of the artist is in the pic as a watermark

That's what the watermark says, go look for it in Deviantart

I meant did she know the artist personally. Her husband's name is Andy (I think) and the painting is signed Andy.

Oh gawd no!

Andy is handy but he is no artist!

Of course I guess you could say he is a bit of an artist in the kitchen as he is an excellent chef

I've really liked the recent paperback covers. For some reason, though, most of the recent new hardcover books have been disappointing to me. I'm guessing the big marketing folks run the show with the new books and they go more for covers that sell books than artistic merit. More slick software design crowd tested for the masses than human generated products. I wonder how much input King provides into the cover design? I'm sure he probably gets a chance to review it, but he strikes me as largely hands off except for the content.

He gets final approval but rarely does he specify that he wants a particular design for the cover. If he doesn't like a direction they're going in with the proofs, he will give them feedback.

These are really fantastic if you haven't discovered it yet. Cover art from the original books signed by the original artist. Great stuff. IT is up this month:

Everything pales in comparison to the original.

...that's the one I have, and you're right-it's pretty damn cool.....

It is a nice cover. One thing I am disappointed with, however, is that all of the song lyrics at the start of chapters have gone.

I've also noticed – in the new Needful Things printing – numerous typographical errors. I swear that I have seen instances of entire words missing from the text.

That is ****ty, I wonder why?

This is a funny picutre

I love the author picture in the original. That is my favourite author pic of his. What is the author pic for the new one. God I hope he gets a new author picture. It whould be nice

Too overkill to me. A neat cover (In my opinion, at least) would be a speedometer that looks like an eye (What Leigh sees while choking on the big-Mac).

Like the background.
Script: I like both.
Sometimes youre in the mood for something simpler and more streamlined (mounds)
Sometimes in the mood for something ornate and toothsome (almondjoy)
