re: book covers

Interesting commentary from this small publisher on why they chose a cover featuring a naked man. (Cover image is small and non-sexualized, if you're reading this at work.)

If I was the author, I would, um, not be pleased by my publisher deciding to use a cover that 100% guarantees the book won't be carried by any major online retailer.

It's an interesting artistic decision, but holy cats, what were they smoking??

(do they only sell through their own website or through indie booksellers?)
