this was done on purpose. it’s called subliminal messaging. made you look twice, didn’t it? now you’ll remember the title of the book and, if he’s lucky, the author’s name. you might buy more of his books, and then he’ll make more money. if it didn’t work, you’re smooooooooooth.

How often I have wished for a third hand. Maybe that is why he loves her so much. She would be great to have around the house.

Advertisers do that on purpose all the time. They want you to look at the ad a little longer without knowing why its catching your attention.

Rooster is right. This is thoroughly intentional as a marketing strategy, and is actually very well done at that.

When I look at the image I ignore the man and only pay attention to the attractive woman with her arm sensually framing her slender figure and appealing to my masculine desires, gaining my interest in the book.

However, a woman may more commonly see the relationship between the man and the woman posed by the holding of hands, which most men would overlook, and the woman might create her own story and connection to that presentation and the associated desires, which would then help establish her interest in purchasing the book.

It’s marketing that, taken in a quick glance, is made to appeal to both sexes and types of thought.

Actually, I suspect this could be the sign of artwork theft. A publisher rips off another artists work and photoshops it to fit their needs. Inevitably parts of the original that don’t quite fit are accidently left behind.

How about the fact that the dude is a Templar Knight? You know, warrior monks, no nookie allowed…? That would be an epic fail in my eyes.

Actually, this is a technique that advertisers use. If they add an extra limb or something, your eye doesn’t notice it right away but your brain understands that something is wrong. Then, the image stays in your brain and the advertising is effective.

Ahh Fiddlesticks must not have heard the great domestic abuse joke:
.
What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
.
.
.
.
.
Nothing you done told her twice.
.
So to really spell it out, in order to tell her three times she would need three eyes to blacken.

This was my favorite book that I ever encountered in my many years working at a bookstore. Unfortunately, that cover is now out of print and they have replaced it with a much less hand- version.

I renamed it a few years back:

This is actually a form of subliminal advertisement that is now illegal.

This is actually a subliminal message put there on purpose. Advertisers put unusual or deformaties into adverts because people usually just have a glance or a few seconds look at an advert, and your sub concionse registers there was something wrong with the image and makes you remember the brand name or whatever but you dont realise, its was used alot…

Thats actualy a marketing trick, they do that to make you remember it because you subconsiously know something is wrong. I mean, pay attention to disney movies, they put PORN in it and you dont notice

This isn’t a fail. The hand on the lower left is the woman’s hand resting on her thigh, and we can all see the one she’s leaning on. The one her waist is obviously the man’s.
