Double Take: Copy Kat Book Cover Designs

I discovered a strange coincedence, book covers that are similar or using the same artwork. Is it that there are just so many books and not enough unique ideas? Like the old school music remixed with the new music today. Is it better to have one attention getting cover idea recycled continuously than have a hideous cover? I tend to think that similar book covers will lead me to believe that i've already read or brought the book. In my quest for answers to these questions, I discovered that recycled covers may not be an author's issue, but a publishers issue. The art is stock and publishers have no idea that another publishing company may have used the same artwork. Is it innocent coincedence or great minds thinking alike?

Cissy replied that she was aware of the books release and that she firmly said "No", "I did not give him permission to write the book". In her words, she states that it was just "HIS side of the story", being that he was a friend of Whitney's. I'm certain that from now to eternity, we will hear all versions of her life's downfall from grace from very many sources. The question is, "Who's account of Whitney's trials, tribulations and triumphs are you most likely to believe?". I personally, would like to read both accounts and not weigh heavy on one viewpoint over the other because emotions are involved and I'm sure neither person wants the memory of Whitney&#
