that is scary, considering Bud of the Holly is meant to be based on Buddy Holly (what a suprise). *looks at pic and shivers*

Well when rincewind sees twoflower for the first time, he says he sees four eyes, later it mentions him cleaning glasses, but the front cover (english) has him drawn with four physical eyes, Josh Kirby has not read the book too far !<p>
EDIT: thanx to the A.P.F for this info, i hadnt noticed

nope normally Josh doesn't read the book or consult with Terry Pratchett before he draws the cover, he reads part of the book, noramlly the back, and does 1 interview, and then doesn't show Terry his picture before he has it as the official pic.

That is just stupid.  How can he paint a picture without fully knowing what the #### he is painting?  Its like telling an Eskimo to paint a Camel from 3 lines of description,  it just ain't gonna work.

why do you think a lot of the covers are so inaccurate?

<p>Good point.
I think they should be forced to read the book thoroughly before they even attempt to do a picture though.<p>EDIT: damned computer swapping.  This should be my post.  I will learn soon :D (The Emperor)
