It’s not due until May 2009, but we already have cover art for Sebastian Faulks’ Centenary Bond novel, Devil May Care. The cover appears to be a picture of Tuuli Shipster in a wig who was featured on the UK hardcover.

I’m not really all that much of a fan of this to be honest. That said it is very paperback looking. Reminds me of the early 70s Pan editions or the late 70s / early 80s British Triads with the girl and typically a gun on the cover. I never liked those. Not to say this is the route they should go, but my favorite paperbacks are the early pulp Pan editions – specifically Live and Let Die. Always wished I had a collection of those.
