Two Themes For Saturday Morning

Book covers:

• Caustic Cover Critic marvels at some wildly inappropriate book covers from Tutis Digital Publishing.
• Orbit do some in-depth research into what makes a fantasy book cover. Swords and glowy magic, apparently.
• Elsewhere Sherlock Holmes goes pulp.

Stuff in the paper:

• Peter Bradshaw doesn’t like The Time Traveler’s Wife but does like The Butterfly Effect. Me too.
• Adam Roberts reviews Kim Stanley Robinson’s new novel which strikes me as a better use of a couple of hundred words than these round ups. (Same contributor name fail though.)
• Jeanette Winterson has written a fantasy children’s drama for the BBC.
