my favourite was the original North American cover for 'The Real Story'... elegant and deceptive...

Was that the one with Nick and Angus facing each other?

My favourite is this one:

I like this one; actually I was looking for a good picture of the other cover of C&O. (The one with almost all the ships.)

That is a great cover. Nice finally to see your ship, Captain Sorus!

And it also comes in red.

This is the other one I was thinking of:

I like that picture of Calm Horizons - very alien.

(I still say that Soar should've been in that picture, but that's just me.)

Stephen Youll's Forbidden Knowledge cover:

My hosting facilities really stink right now, but I wish we could start a serious project to establish a consistant Gap cover art gallery. I love Sorus and Loremaster's covers and I really wish we could find a way to compile all the covers available and make them all the same size (like Jay's Covenant cover galley). Perhaps we need to talk to Jay and Edge about helping us in this endevour...

Great image, danlo! Though wasn't Enablement a spherical station? Anyway, it looks great.

This one?... Ik! :| nah... it is much better! And I can't find a picture of it on the internet!
Has no one seen the original harcover 'The Real Story' cover with a beautiful image of the profile a woman's face (Morn I would guess) as if carved froma gemstone, set against a starry background...

it' elegant and beautiful .. considering how 'violently' the series starts... ;)

I've always liked the ones with the triangles and the face-offs, but I suppose everyone always likes the one they see first.

These covers with the pictures of things on are nice, but don't look anything like I imagine the ships

I like most of the Gap covers... I mean usually I'm not too concerned with covers... but I did enjoy the Gap covers; I loved the distance the pictures conveyed, between the stars, how small the people were compared to watch surrounded them... amazing.

nope, that's not it.... (sigh)
I will find it!

I agree. I never really liked the later covers after 'The Real Story' (the one I can't find... grrrr..) They are never how I imagine things in myy own mind's eye....

Heh... Actually, danlo... I've already started on this project. Heh. It was going to be a surprise one day, but I guess I can let the cat out of the bag.

But I've already started putting together a collection of Gap covers that I found on the internet. I think I already have a good percentage of the covers. But I'm sure I'm missing some.

The Gap Book Cover Gallery is going to be a part of that new Gap site that I'd like to start, which Murrin linked to. While the rest of the Gap site will probably take more time to complete, I guess I can at least do the Book Cover Gallery first, so you all can enjoy it.

I'll probably start the Gap Book Cover Gallery soon, and put up the covers that I already have. Then you all can really enjoy all of the Gap covers. And you can then also send me covers that I'm missing.

I'll keep you updated, but I hope to have something to show over the next few days.-jay

(By the way, U, is this the cover you're talking about?)

Damn you, Jay, I'd just found that one. (here)

I love that TRS cover - don't see it very often. I wish they had done more covers with the characters on them, though the ships and stations and such are awesome as well.

Also like this one, and will try to find a larger copy..
