Jake–I totally agree with you. Book covers matter and they reveal a ton of information. Lilith looks like the cover artist/editor didn't even read a synopsis of the book. What amazes me as I plow through the world of children's literature, is how truly awful many covers are–and how quickly they date themselves. On the other hand, find Steven Tyler's autobiography at the book store. Opening the front cover reveals an amazing array of Stevens. And I bet Tyler had final decision making to get something so distinctive.
