Sigh. I wandered into Borders looking for Eamon Duffy's "The Stripping of the Altars", and wandered out minus said fascinating study of the late-Mediaeval/ early Reformation English church, but plus 'Cetaganda' - yes. more Vorkosigan.

The cover - it's an American edition - is seriously horrible, though. It looks like it's eligible for some sort of bad cover art prize (possibly, since it has a proud endorsement from the 'Romantic Times', the 'bad romance cover art'

snorkackcatcher linked to the other day).

There's also something mildly annoying about buying a book for the same price in pounds as is given in dollars on the jacket, though that's hardly the American publisher's fault.
