Strictly speaking this isn't a spoiler as it's nothing to do with the
text but I'll leave space anyway.

That should be enough.

Anyone having bought the hardback of UA will undoubtedly have found the
pack of collectors cards inside the back cover. It just so happens that
the pack in mine has the Rincewind card showing. He's clearly running
away but, and this is where the error creeps in, *He's looking back over
his shoulder*

Now, as we all know, Rincewind *NEVER* looks back at what he is running
from - it's the "to" that counts. I feel that the artist for Jolly
Sailor Tobacco cards should be taken to task over this error:-)

This is of the same order as the Patrician being shown on the cover as
the Umpire. Not the author but someone else not knowing their stuff.

Not really. At the top level the Patrician *IS* the referee - the cover
makes perfect sense to me. I wasn't criticising the author, just those
responsible for the packaging who should have done more research.

Possibly, but the Josh Kirby covers (mayherestinpeace) for which there
are many fans are often wide of the mark with respect to the text.
