I gather there've been a few changes made to both illustration (by Bob Eggleton) and typography/design (by Steve Upham), but MADDENINGLY I haven't yet seen them. In the meantime, this is as much as I know about how the outside of my novel The Dragons of Manhattan (Screaming Dreams Press, Real Soon Now) is going to look: 
There's a web page about the book at http://www.screamingdreams.com/index1.html (then choose "Paperback Books/Books in Progress/The Dragons of Manhattan); it too still has the penultimate-draft cover design.
Even before the emplacement of the revisions, this is somewhat, um, cool, ain't it? Tonight there's at least one author who's dancing around a bit, punching the air occasionally in triumphalist fashion, requiring periodic deflation by his ever-lovin' spouse . . .

That's why I made the book as long as it is -- to make sure there was room enough on the spine for . . .
Um, okay, maybe that's not quite true . . .
Of course, you're in the book.
