Sifting through my old magazines I found in a German fanzine what appears to be an advert for the UK Icebreaker. Never seen this image before. The UK hardcover has the skeleton hand clutching a broken ski pole. This one is holding dandelions with...is it an Iron Cross in the b.g.? Does anyone have a color image? Thanks.

Thanx for sharing, cat. I always felt they should've stayed with the Chopping-style covers all the way to at least Gardner's last novel.

Nice little bit of trivia you've discovered, zen!

Wonder what provoked the switch...
