New Limited Edition of The Shining from Sub Press

[Martin]

I really like Rodriguez but that cover art did not work for me.

I was under the impression that the original cover art was only a placeholder and not actually the finished product. I'll be interested to see who the new artist is. I was probably in the minority, but I liked Rodriguez.

I actually kinda like the middle one. As for the original art for this printing, it's not bad, but it's too simple. Maybe as interior art or if it was in a graphic novel, but as cover art it just doesn't quite suit a work of this magnitude.

sub press is still having problems coming up with suitable art for their edition of The Shining. I love this book too much not to add my two cents, so I sent them some art that they should NOT consider (because I don't trust sp's judgement in this matter.)

If subpress had a forum (maybe they do, I couldn't find one) I'd post that there.

I am pretty sure they don't.

You guys are brutal.

You're probably right....if it was some OTHER book, I wouldn't worry...

Any one of those is totally worth $450

Wow, good that SP is changing the art on that. Nothing wrong with that work in itself, but is very wrong for The Shining, especially the cover. I don't know if I would have cancelled my order or not, but I would not have been happy. I didn't have the money for it anyway, and don't think I'd have ordered it even if I did. I'm glad CD got Doctor Sleep, even if I had to pass on that one too

That's the great thing about art (and music too). You don't need to know a thing about it to know what you like and what you don't. If you like it, it's good. If you don't, it's garbage. Scholars be damned.

I think I was in the minority on that cover as well. I did not mind it but every one else did.Guess I don't know squat about art.

Hmmm...looks to be a good move. I remember CD doing that with the cover of PURE when we had a problem with the cover.
