Same here Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein is one of the best books in my collection the cover is so awful and has nothing to do with the story.
One of the worst covers i have seen. Its one of the newest editions too.
I will get later a collecting version hardcover,hardback not only collection reasons in this case...
