I believe the 2nd is by Derek Collard, who illustrated the whole book. The 4th is by Chris Wormell, who did all new Harper Collins covers for Alan Garner.

Loppu hyvin, kaikki hyvin. Ystävällinen ja pätevä asiakaspalvelija Päivi osasi lukea lähetyslistaa oikein ja lisäsi Omapostiin noutokoodin. Postilähetys noudettu ja maailma pelastui! Kiitos Päivin.

Aina kun Posti Group ilahduttaa tällä tavalla, kutsun heitä itellaksi. Yleensä Tullin palautesivuilla, jossa voi pieni ihminen purkaa "palvelumaksu"-itellan aikaansaamia turhautumia.

Oletettavastikin ei kuitenkaan siihen lähetyslistassa olevaan osoitteeseen, jonka lähetykseni toimittaja on osannut kirjoittaa oikein ja kommunikoida kanssani. Vai onko yhteystieto arvottu? Katsotaan huomenna, kun itellan aspa on taas töissä, jos vaikka tämä vodaan selvittää ilman voimasanoja.

Tuollahan tuo olisi, ulkonoutopisteessä odottamassa. Ainoa vaan on, että koska "puhelinnumerosi ei vastaa lähetyksen yhteystietoja", niin lokerokoodi on piilotettu. Asia selvä, mutta missähän se luvattu sähköposti on? Jonka itella mainostaa lähettäneensä minulle?

Those are his, both are on his website under Edward Miller SF-art. I remember him from Parcon in Plzen, where he was one of the guests, since (the same?) publisher used his cover art with all of their translations (VanderMeer, Duncan, Miéville, Bishop etc, New Weird was a Big Thing in Czechia 2008).

By Picnic at the Whitehouse, another (almost) obscure mid-80's synthy pop band. Both bands made an album, but that's about it. Singer Edwin Hind had an additional claim to fame, he was in a well-known Coca Cola commercial in 1991. "You got one minute to get a Coke".
