Yes they are - I now have the latest wallpaper for my work computer (they're used to this from me). At least until the "official" cover is released.

I'm spending Labour Day trying to stay cool in the 32C heat.

Wraparound cover! Yay!

Wonderful ideas.

Wrap-around covers are cool. I just hope they don't waste this one. It still breaks my heart that David's wonderful city and signage is lost under a Big Black Box of Text on the back of Dragon in Exile.

Really striking!

I have to admit, I was expecting pencil sketches... so the full color detailed "sketches" were a delightful surprise. Do artists still use pencils and paper, or is that just totally out-of-date?

I'm guessing it depends on the artist.

If given a vote, sketch 2 please.

Sigh.
Either one as long as the book comes with it.
Both are gorgeous.

Love the second one.
