“The final dust jacket shows a severely cropped image from the original artwork. The image was
originally intended to be a full wraparound landscape which featured a large statue of a pointing
hand on the cover. It was determined that the hand appeared to be giving a rude gesture and the art
was cropped for the final printing”—Irwin Terry, goreyana.blogspot.com.
