The artists who draw the covers are not usually familiar with the books they draw for; they act solely on the publisher's instructions, so if the person isn't specifically told to draw a "Far Eastern" character, they do a standard Caucasian romance novel heroine. Maybe someone in the publishing house saw the mistake afterwards, but then the dates were already set, the printing house was booked, so they though: "Aw, hell, we'll use whatever cover we have, maybe no one will notice".morri_delraenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374075192901571152.post-40652124211079264572011-05-20T13:33:20.069-07:002011-05-20T13:33:20.069-07:00This has been on my to-read list for a while- at t...This has been on my to-read list for a while- at this point, I'm waiting to pick up the paperback whenever it comes out.<br /><br />Also, I like the UK cover more than the US one.
