I was reading once about Sci-fi in the 50's. An author, perhaps Poul Anderson or someone of that level, was explaining he had a friend who did covers and apaprently they are so busy doing cover after cover they don't have the time to read the book and get an idea what's inside. Thus you end up with the same giant green alien/robot/monster menacing the heroine while the hero looks on with his raygun. Not as bad as that these days but I guess perhaps they are busy. In the Posleen books I've seen 2 different images of them, either giant crocodiles or velociraptors.
