It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover, but it's still the best way to make you want to look at it and see!

Man, that cover art discussion video sounds intriguing, looking forward to it. I'm with you in feeling that cover art in general these days is pathetic, especially compared to "the good old days" of quality, evocative paperback cover paintings from the '50s through the '90s.

Dude. I read Snowcrash in 96 and it absolutely blew me away, read it many times after that too. In some ways that book is very much a product of its time but in most of the other ways it was ridiculously prophetic in such a highly specific way. I never thought we'd get there, but here we are. Huge fan of the channel!

Really, really, REALLY looking forward to hearing about cover art changes over the years. REALLY! I'm not kidding.

I'm especially interested in the upcoming cover art video, GB, as this is a subject near and dear to my heart as well. Thanks for the sub link to Gareth's channel. As soon as I post this comment I'm headed there next. Great to hear your channel news and to see your enthusiasm. That's what we need more of in the world of SF YT channels. Cheers!

Fantastic topic: cover art. Sweet, Whelan, Boris, Rowena, etcetera. Looking forward to all the guys and gals I’m unaware of!

[RobAddie]

Being older I prefer the older book art covers. Recently read Red Planet again, took me back to my youth. The book still has a certain charm. Look forward to your next upload. Thank you.

[BurnEnough]

Hey, sounds fun! Looking forward to it!

[JosephReadsBooks]

That cover video sounds amazing! I am looking forward to it!

Stock art that they pulled out of their a…..er….inventory.

[nunyabizness]

You, Michael K Vaughn and Jon del Arroz rock. Whenever life gets on my nerves, i have my coffee and am calmed down by booktube vids.❤❤❤

[MysteryandMayhem-grnn]

Enjoyable video! I'm looking forward to your insights on cover art and for the upcoming Conan video. I'll try to watch your live this Saturday with Gareth.

[gypsyboomer]

Oh My Word! Cover art and "Snowcrash", can't wait. Got to miss the live stream tho, maybe catch on time machine. Keep the reading lamp lite.

[JohnM-cdou]

Looking forward to the cover art video. I was born in 1995 and could only experience the absolute tail end of good cover art in fantasy/sci Fi books.

[Skeptic]

Looking forward to next Tuesday's video! (It is totally by Howard)

[kevinjudge]

Hey, I just noticed that you have an Innis and Gunn photo on your homepage! A booktube channel and man of great taste. Looking forward to the videos.

[PeculiarNotions]

I'm looking forward to your cover art video.

[BookChatWithPat]

Hi Grammaticus. I'm really looking forward to both your livestream with Gareth and also your cover art video. Vintage SF book covers especially are so incredible. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it. Hope you're doing well.

[geneh]

Cool. I hope Michael Wheelan gets some love. That dude can paint.
