What do these things say about the books? Yeah, you can say after the fact they're about this and that, but if you knew nothing about the content of the book beforehand you couldn't. [...]

I have that copy of Wool - and the "matching" ones for Shift and Dust. I put quotes around "matching" because they match by being equally vague and irrelevant (but they are vague and irrelevant in a similar sort of way
). These are the covers supplied after the books were taken up by Trad' Pub' (not sure what was used before that), and they match my expectations of Trad' Pub' these days.
