Americans tend to like cover art with images of characters from the book and Brits prefer a more non-personal landscape. The English SF artist Chris Foss (b. 1946) painted the landscape image for the UK edition of Ursula LeGuin's novel City of Illusions. Foss, the producer of over 1000 mainly SF covers, provided the artwork for Alex Comfort’s 1972 bestseller The Joy of Sex.
