I DARE you. For that matter, open the last 20 DTBook, BPH bestsellers on Amazon. See how many of those have cover designer credits. Want me to tell you how many? NONE. I'm boggled that you think that cover design credits are just sitting there, for every book, on the colophon (which most BPHs are not using any longer, EITHER). Or all the OTHER meta about which you keep blathering.

Well, Hitch, I really hate to say this to you of all people.
But you're wrong.
I actually went through the books on my Kindle (and I have quite the selection, though I didn't check
all of them
).
And I can tell you now that there is one book (series), at least, which absolutely does list the cover artist.
The Harry Potter books were designed by Mary GrandPré, as per the copyright page.
Now there you go! One book (series) does it, so obviously, every other book out there does, too!
Or maybe they're all WRONG!
Or something!
