ATD paperback cover

[JD]

See, I just picked up a copy of the paperback today... and my response
was... WTF does this have to do with AtD?  I guess conclusions can be drawn
but I don't think it works all that well.  I like the UK cover way more and
would like to get a copy of that :P

I am glad, however, that they didn't just reproduce the hardcover artwork -
I don't think it would have worked for the paperback.
