Philip Pullman, famously atheist author of the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass books) has a new novel out in May from Canongate - a retelling of Jesus's life. This seems to be a pick-up from the UK edition, which comes in a white background as well...unless that's the back cover. The plot begins with a "...naive young Mary giving birth to twins after a visit by a mysterious stranger claiming to be an angel. The babies grow up into the physically robust, straight-talking, straightforward Jesus and the bookish, calculating, often morally tortured Christ." It's already out in the UK and is positioned at #9 on the UK Amazon sales ranking. Matte with embossed gold foil type.

Looks a lot like that S.King cover you featured last year. Not very interesting.
Nice holy week tie-in, Tal! Is this foil and embossed?
Hey Blair! Haven't seen this live and in-person yet. It's gotta be at least foil, eh? Gould, that Stephen King had motion blur, but there is a similarity. They're similar in that THEY ROCK!
Most notable bookcover of the moment : Ian Mc Ewan's Solar.
