Because it bears repeating

[james_davis_nicoll]

Authors generally have very little control over the covers of their books.

Also, and I have to admit I've never actually heard anyone say this but the evidence appears to support this hypothesis, most publishers' art directors not only don't know any people who are visible minorities, they don't know about people who are visible minorities. This is probably because most major publishers are based in New York and if there's one thing Friends and Seinfeld taught me, New York is surprisingly monotone.

I don't remember if I actually ate any of the Every Flavor Jellybeans, but I enjoyed contemplating how the flavor chemists finally got to leave off making Fake Cheese #594 and try their hand at a New-Mown Grass for a change.
