I asked John about it; my comment was approved but he hasn’t responded yet. Likely will as a separate blog post.

A re-issue of the Trade, looks like the same ISBN, with a new cover, see the start of this thread.

That is so pretty. Who needs this text for a 5th time? Well, we do

White HC logo too. I think this will be in matte like the current releases.

I have asked, but it looks like Ted Nasmith to me.

My thought as well, but didn't want to presume.

It is Ted Nasmith, and I have to say he has surpassed himself with this artwork, amazing even for him.

Here's Ted's page for this image:

Wonderful cover ! I like it a lot.
But regarding to the setting of the titles on the front part, if this is the final mock-up, it seems the width of the book is not so huge comparing to the previous one-volume edition. Maybe we'll have some very thin paper for this one.

There is another image popped up on Amazon showing the book is wider than that mockup. Clearly another mockup but the book on this one looks much larger.
