Amazon has RTW cover up

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.

FYI all, the cover for Return to the Whorl is now up on Amazon.

This one's got me stumped.  Who's the giant?  And is that a humanoid figure=20
in his hand?  It's easy to lose the  little finger on the giant's hand, but=20
if you can separate that finger out (it points in a different direction=20
than the other fingers), there appears to be an arm from the smaller=20
humanoid figure propped up on it.   You can see a waist and legs, but the=20
head of the figure and one of its hands are radiating so much light it's=20
very tough to be certain.  About the only thing that can be said with any=20
certitude is that Oreb's on the cover.  Very tiny, but it's gotta be Oreb.
