It doesn't matter to me what color the person on the front is or even of the character in the book. Its the content I enjoy. Yes, don't get me wrong I do get pulled to certain covers, although lately it has been men in cloaks with hoods where you can't see their faces... hmmm, I may have to think on that one - it doesn't sound good. ;) But it shouldn't matter. <br /><br />The necklace is amazing looking. And you made it! Wow!

...Okay, I want, I want, I want that necklace!!!!! <br /><br />The Book Smugglers had an excellent post on the whitewashing of this book as well which I think references Katiebabs's post. The original cover is just so beautiful and original whereas the new and subsequent ones are...dull by comparison. Big, stupid, stupid mistake on somebody's part to do this.
