[net.sf-lovers] Art on Covers

The three Barbara Hambly books, The Time of the Dark, The Walls of Air,
and the Armies of Daylight, all have covers by David Mattingly.  All the
covers are DIRECTLY and CLEARLY related to scenes in the corresponding
books (and usually scenes quite near the beginning of the books).  I
have wanted to buy the original cover art for the first book, but
originally Mattingly said that he was holding onto the set for his
personal porfolio.  I eventually told an art deal mutual friend that I
would be willing to buy all three.  He told Mattingly, but he still
wanted to keep them for his folio.  Later I found out had sold all
three, and forgotten that he had had another offer.  *Sigh* At least it
was cheaper not to have them.
