I like to watch covers for The Wheel of Time from other countries.
I've found a german site featuring the german covers for the WoT or Das Rad der Zeit (The Wheel of Time) It's complete with every cover for every book except The Gathering Storm of course.The german translation is published in more than one part.
Klick the thumbnails for higher resolution. I think they are quite good most of them. I like the one with Ishamael especially.
Enjoy!

Artistically, some of those are quite interesting, but I wonder if the artist(s?) read the books first. At least with Sweet's covers, I can kind of figure out what scene is being depicted. And how did they come up with some of the titles? My German is pretty rusty, but the second book of CoT seems to be "The White Castle". I suppose that could be a reference to The White Tower, but I'm not sure.
Very interesting. I wonder if we can find the covers for other translations.
Aside from where they reused American covers of EotW & tGH in LoC, they seem to be rather accurrate. Of course we don't know how the material is redistributed in the break-down books, but for the most part (aside from the bright summery cover for one of the WH books) they are pretty good.

And I thought the Sweet covers had no relation to the books.

Actually these are mostly pretty relevant.

That's what our Great Hunt book was missing... Hot naked chicks on the cover. *NM*

Eh... most of these look like they belong in an old school D&D book
