I'm terrified that when I finally get my first book published they'll pick a completely wrong cover for it, and one that's from stock photography, and that can be found on several other books.
that is soo lazy. when i did work experience at a publisher's, they did use stock photography but never as is.. they would always add stuff or insert bits into a photo they took themself or change the colours etc..
I read The Miner's Daughter last year, so the cover of After River caught my eye at the library. Oh, stock photography.
haha! I wonder what happens to the person who copied the cover? :)
ReplyDeleteTsk tsk....although it'd be cool if one was the girl, to see yourself on two books. :)

WV: mestovi - Messsed up... vi?
At least the second one attempted to change the picture around a little: zooming in, fading the colors, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when I spot these.
ReplyDeleteI just keep wishing the publishers would use MY photos for MY books. Then I would not be placed at similar risk.
ReplyDelete(not gonna happen)
well...hmm.. hahaha that's different.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That's so funny you caught that! I guess they thought no one would recognize it if the image was flipped. ;)
