Anyone else see these? I wasn't expecting them so soon but I walked into Waterstones today and they had Gardens of the Moon and Deadhouse Gates with their spanking new, fit-in-with-RG-and-TBH covers. DHG also has all the other new covers displayed inside the front page. Unfortunately, I can't find any examples online. Grrr.

DHG and HoC's covers are still the same as before, but the colour of DHG's seems to have been toned down a bit. GotM has a single tower on the cover, whilst MoI has a warrior shrouded in flames (similar to the RG cover actually). MT's cover I couldn't make out very well, but is similar to the existing cover except it shows a large rectangular structure in the water rather than the TE warriors.

Some of them looked pretty good, particularly the GoTM and MoI ones, but the MT one looked odd. Still much better than the US ones though.

I should HOPEFULLY get the new ones in good quality soon. I'll post samples if I do get them.

Okay, much better than the US GotM, MoI and BH then. The others are reasonably good.

Hi folks, I've just ordered the first three Malazan novels, but I am a bit concerned about the cover for "Midnight Tides".

It seems that all the other books in this series (bar the one I have mentioned have "uniform" covers.

Will MT be receiving a "matching" cover as well?

I know it's the content that counts, but I am a bit anal about these things...any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Okay, talk about wasting my first post, I've done a bit of research on these covers and it seems that Amazon UK and Play UK are showing the old cover for Midnight Tides, instead of the new one, I've found the new "matching/uniform" cover at Waterstones.

Hopefully, I will be back in a few weeks when I've read the first three of these books (which come highly recommended), and I hope to be able to contribute a bit more than stupid questions! :p

And for those who are interested, this is the series of covers I was looking for...

Note the bar running across the top with the helmet in the center...all the new editions have this style now, so it looks like I am needing to buy the other 4 or 5 in the series. :p

He's talking about all the new covers that were revealed a couple of months ago. We had a big thread discussing them somewhere... maybe the SE and ICE Q&A.

All the paperbacks in Denmark have been switched for the new versions. I have to admit it looks better.
