  The ambitiously indefatigable Mr. Michael Walsh recommends that I
visit a bookstore for the purpose of gazing upon hideous book covers.  Well,
this is arguably the worst reason ever advanced for visiting a bookstore.
Yet I shall accept the challenge since I can also inspect the books within.
As one of Mr. Baen's customers, I find the covers of his David Weber and
John Ringo books to be high quality paintings illustrating either specific
scenes from the contained story or symbolic representations of the
scenario... which I believe is the purpose of cover illustrations  Don't
recall Mr. B's Andre Norton covers.
