Swallow IV

Advance copies of the Ashley Wood-run SWALLOW art book arrived yesterday. This is the fourth such art book (a fifth is planned for June), and as with all the others, it's just gorgeous. Like the previous volumes, it's a thick (over 200 pages) 8-1/2 x 11 art book featuring multiple pieces of art by, in this case, Wood, Paul Pope, Brom, James Jean, Jim Mahfood, Andrew Hem, Shane Glines, Teddy Kristiansen, Toby Cypress, and others. This one features a poster from Pope, too. Here's a look at the book's two covers (one by Ash, one by Pope), as well as a couple images from many of the folks included. I'm not sure how Ash gets involvement from so many people at this level but I'm glad he does...

The solicitation only listed one cover- I ordered it through my local store when it was originally in previews. How are the covers being issued? Is there any way to secure an Ashley Wood cover?
