@Apt - the cover that you think might be the mage cadre of the Whirlwind could also be the nameless ones....
Sure, they don't really do much in that book, but they do look like the Nameless Ones we have had described.

H'Ranga,

The First cover for Bonehunters is the cover for one of Glen Cook's other books...or I am seriously insane

The cover of the first book of bonehunters is the cover for "A Cruel Wind" a compilation of three 'dread empire' books by Glen Cook, and the cover for book 2 is the cover for book 2 of The Tyranny of the Night.

That's weird... Does Erikson and Cook have the same publisher?

I knew it! Well i know Erikson has a man crush on Cook....and I guess they don't use the same covers for Cook's books in Germany....interesting though

I liked that one with gruntle and stonny on the cover, and it looked like one of those cheap fabio romance novels. i can't find the link. it was an italian cover i think, it's been posted here before.
This one?
Roof of the house in Capustan? Looks OK to me, if a bit generic.

Also I thought his swords were shorter and more heavy looking, like crude cutlasses. Those look like a kind of bastard sword. And menackis, at least going in, used a rapier.
You know, just to derail my own thread, that thing with her using the rapier. That was damn stupid. She cursed herself for trying to use such a weapon against a serdomin warrior.. which was a foolish idea, but! Why was she using it at the first place then?
As a caravan guard, if they were attacked by a prepared group of bandits, then she'd have suffered the same fait. And that's normal, one on one, swordfighting on the ground. How was she going to use a rapier as a weapon when saddled? Was she going to use it as a miniture lance?

I don't know about the english market but in Germany they are both at publishers which are a part of Random House ... which is a part of Bertelsmann
btw: Book 12: 1st part of Reaper's Gale, translated: "the golden ruler" (same cover as this

Whoa! Looks really awesome.

It could look like Rhulad with armor covering the coins and... uhm, his face strangely free of coins
What the hell is that thing in the background? I think I should start reading Cook again.

SE had no idea about that until he saw the german cover, while the Glen Cook "A Cruel Wind" was next to it on the table.

I'm not going to remember the name of the book, but at Chapters the other day i spotted a completely unrelated fant book with a cover that was a dead ringer for the UK/CAN DG cover (Chain of Dogs dust storm 7C scene). I even took it to where the DG mmpg was and looked at them side by side.... all they had done was remove the dog heads.

@ThorR
That second polish cover for GOTM looks really cool. Any chance of posting a larger version?

Similarly, I was wondering what version this cover of RG is for?
Meanwhile, these are the Italian versions:
GotM:

DG:
[La dimora fantasma]
The ugly rabid-ferret version Apt first posted
MoI (two parts):


House of Chains:
[La casa delle catene]
The 2-foot-tall-hound version Apt posted on the first page (post #9).
Midnight Tides:

It's the american one I believe.
you are correct apt, that is the copy that i have. I think it is the mass market paperback, but i am not sure. The dimensions of the book are 9.25 inches by 6 inches. These are the same dimensions for all of the volumes released in the US (I think) except for GotM and DG which were smaller hardback books. There are other paperback versions of the books up to BH out in the US that have the same cover art, but are just smaller.
absum!
edit: it is not the mass market paperback. amazon has it listed as paperback first edition. the whole set is going to look sweet.

I've seen very diverse sizes of all the books in my area of the country. So I'm not sure what the mass market sizes are.
There were some really cool ones here. Though I've already seen most of them from my own boredom. Never thought of making a thread about though...
One of my favorite was one of the first posted. Can't remember the country but it was GotM and Raest was kicking some ass.
