New Iain M Banks Covers

The Iain M. Banks backlist has had a makeover. These books should be in UK shops from late July.

cover: Consider Phlebas cover: The Player Of Games cover: Use Of Weapons cover: The State Of The Art cover: Against A Dark Background

cover: Feersum Endjinn cover: Excession cover: Inversions cover: Look To Windward cover: The Algebraist

Comments (may contain spoilers):
General - not very skiffy. Presumably that was the point.
Consider Phlebas, looks very similar to the existing one.
The Player of Games, looks like a thriller.
Use of Weapons, I was expecting a chair.
The State of the Art, I need to Ask the Family what that closeup shows.
Against a Dark Background, looks like it could be for Canal Dreams.
Feersum Endjinn, vaguely spacy but on the abstract side.
Excession, is very similar to the existing cover.
Inversions, doesn't say "A Culture Novel" - presumably to keep the sense of doubt about the characters.
Look to Windward, casual book browsers may be surprised by the aliens they find in this.
The Algebraist, paperback cover is different from the hardback, and seems to show stars through the planet.
