One of the best parts of Ye Olde Inboxe is all the email I receive with covers attached. Covers that make you go, WTF – or, in most cases, DON'T LOOK WAIT NO YOU HAVE TO.
Here are a few of the best from the past few months of my inbox. Don't thank me – thank the folks who send them in!

I replied: “What the hell is going on there? Where is her other leg?!”
Nikii: “I know, right? And what is she doing with that raised hand?”
Me: “Is it too much to hope that she's doing the full rendition of “Single Ladies” and he's trying to stop her by pulling her legs off one at a time?”
Submitted without comment by A.
I suppose he could insist they are not dating, but to me, it looks like they are more than friends.

Wow! I say, If it's a Regency Prison Break, I have a pretty good guess under whose eaves she'll be hiding.
What excellent covers have you spotted recently?
Cover #2 is a prime example of lazy ass Poser art. And I mean VERY effing lazy. Because I’ve seen plenty of decent examples that don’t look like … well, like that. The models can be textured, morphed and lit so that they look a hell of a lot better than that.
I just hope the chick on #3 doesn’t end up poking her eyes out on man titty nipple.
“How NOT to Date a Bear”?? It is really, really easy not to date a bear. You see a lilac-colored bear in a pink corset and you just keep on walking. You don’t need a whole book.
The hairy dude looks like his head was photoshopped by the same old lady who “retouched” the Spanish church fresco.
Is the guy on cover #2 penetrating that teddy bear? The positioning concerns me…
I just feel really sorry for that poor bear. He had no idea what was about to happen. He was just sitting on a clipboard somewhere minding his own business and then a bit of cut and paste and WHAM BAM look where he ended up! He probably wasn’t even purple to begin with!
wow, that’s a good-sized moob right there.
OMG. That really is a corset on that teddy bear. I think there is a sock tan going on and this guy’s hairy all over. I’ll bet you could comb his back. I’m making myself sick.
I thought it was a little heart sewn on the bear, not a corset. But really, it doesn’t matter. It’s bad either way.
