don't read the books too closely?
************ The covers often had some relation to the book
content, but accuracy was by no means a requirement. And for
what the artists were normally paid, I doubt many felt
compelled to read the books they did the covers for. So in
answer to your question, my guess would be that pulp
tradition was that the artists rarely read the books they
illustrated.
