Gene Wolfe Covers

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I was confused by the one with the sword-toting elf as well.  It look
really familiar (the artwork is very similar to that of the *Mistborn
*series),
and after some digging I found that the cover was just taken from this
book<http://www.amazon.com/Midwinter-Matthew-Sturges/dp/1591027349>.
This explains the disconnect between the cover and, well, virtually
everything about *The Shadow of the Torturer*.
