- My parents lived in the UK for a few years and brought be back their copy
- of the Belgariad to replace copies that my slime friends borrowed and never
- returned. All the covers are _totally_ different.

- The US PoP had young Belgarion and (old) Pol with some guy on a horse (Ash-
- arak?) in the distance. There's a map of Sendria for a background.
-
- The UK PoP version is a picture of a mountain range with a valley/lake in
- the middle and Garion, Belgarath and Pol standing on a mountain in the fore-
- ground.
-
- Maybe whoever publishes the book (US:Ballantine; UK:Corgi) gets to pick the
- artwork.

- We should all pitch in $25 and buy Mr. Eddings a PC so he can get on the 'Net
- and start answering some of the questions that come through here..
