Sorry to bring this old thread out of the dirt, but something has always bothered me about the Cover Art for "Golden Fool" (the one done by Stephen Youll).
Let me first start by stating the one done by John Howe is wonderful, imo. I actually had never seen it until just this moment when I attempted to google-search the golden fool cover art. I wish I had this version.
(John Howe version - the good version):

On the one by Stephen Youll I have.. it's supposed to be Narcheska Elliania, but she has blonde hair, instead of black. It bothers me so much. -_-
(Stephen Youll version I hate.)
