How much does cover art influence you?

Geees why do they make Dany look like Lady Godiva!!!!
I really dislike the 'look' of most of the characters in the HBO thing (nothing like I pictured, or indeed like any artwork I've seen)..... have I said that before?

As to the actual impression it makes on me as a book cover, well it looks a little cheesy.

Yeah why DID they drop the 'A' ?
