Sir Lancelot gazed fondly into the soft blue pools of Lady Guineviere's eyes and gently held her mutant third hand. Wait, what?

GREAT idea for a blog! My husband and I are LOVING it! Keep them coming! We subscribed!
Hahahha another amazing find! =)
Hi,
Thanks for the link. I have to point out, though, that this is not a photoshop error. It's an actual painting. The artist just got overexcited, methinks.

Freakin' LOL.
that is really funny! and bizarre
hilarious!
Or Lancelot thinks a severed hand is a great, romantic gift to give the lady.
Well, it does say Priceless on the cover... ;o)
ROFLMAO!!!!
read the book! it's about a man who falls in love with a 3 armed women!
upon closer inspection, it appears that the dude has 6 fingers on that hand anyway. these two are perfect for each other...
what is going ON? amazing find.
bwa ha ha!!!
*subscribing*
Nobody ever said people who read Mills & Boon romances were smart.
Or people who illustrate Mills & Boon novels...
Or people who WRITE Mills & Boon novels, for that matter.

It does seem to be a painting, scanned and worked on with photoshop. I suspect there is another lady "underneath" the one we see. The guy is holding the hand of the deleted lady. You could see that his gaze is not directed at the new lady's eyes but strangely at the top of her head. The deleted lady must have been lying in a different position, maybe lower upon the ground.
OMG LOL I'mn going to be walking around the pulp fiction/romance section of the bookstore staring oddly at the covers now...
This in infamous. But it IS NOT Photoshopped. The painting was incorrect. The book's author herself has commented on this.
That first is not a PhotoShop disaster. It is an actual book cover that was released and sold. It is now quite the collector's item. That's a book by Christine Dodd and she got some good mileage out of her three-armed hero. I guess romance authors are smarter than some folks think.
I bet it helps her with her ski-boxing!
This post was posted to a forum I read, and someone found a blog entry from the author of this book.

too funny! Thanks for the laugh!
i think he has even 7 fingers or so..
I read the blog post by Christina Dodd and nowhere does it say it wasn't photo shopped. She never stated where the print came from, and she had no idea it was an error until the book had already been published.
That's hilarious :)
good eye! lol. I love the mutant hand. That's a romance novel I would read!
You guys are silly, that's obviously his man hood :P
omg! ahaahha
three arms? she's a witch!
I laughed so hard I almost woke up my entire household! Thanks for the chuckles!
They do that so the shopper/reader won't forget the tittle and they buy the brand :] Marketing Genius. Its been used before the photoshop ages :]
OMG. This reminds me of this part in Huck Finn where this girl artist was drawing a picture of a girl looking at the moon but she couldn't decide how to position the arms (arms folded, arms reaching to the moon, etc.). The artist died before she could finish it, so the picture had four pairs of arms drawn on in different positions.
I always wished I could have seen that picture and now, in a way, I have. Thanks!
hahaha this is the best of the best :D
