I don't love the cover picture. The way they cropped it makes her look manly, especially on the top. But good for Nina she got it, shame her face didn't make it lol

^ I know, Nina is so tiny but they way the cropped the picture makes look bigger, kind of like a boy. It's just odd, I don't know wtf happened there

 

@ve.ro.ni.ka that's all there is for Petra I think, and for Veronica it's the same. We'll have to wait until the book is out to see more pictures of them

^ I think she is talking about how they made Nina's body look awkward.

 

It's normal and understandable why they didn't show her face, and they just did the body but the way they cropped it it's just not working 100%. Her upper body looks too big for her lower body.

It is a terrific book.  Huge.  And, I mean HUGE.  It was shockingly large, and very thick, too.  The pages are thick paper and very high quality printing.  It's well worth the money if you're an SI Swimsuit fan.  (And, no they didn't pay me to write this, although I'd happily accept payment by way of attending a swimsuit photoshoot once!)  :)
