Mine just arrived from Amazon.com, and I must admit that the cover puzzles me.

Why is the cream-colored cover broken into three separate panels
"pasted" onto an all-white background?  It would have been more
"attractive" if the three images had been a contiuous (and enlarged)
one.  It is almost as if a three-dimensional book has been
orthographically projected onto the white sheet of the jacket.
