The American Cover

Ptolemy's Gate
Call me stupid but all through the book I was trying to find what Bartimaeus' guise was on the American cover. Help?

I think the american covers were pretty much made up on the spot.

Well ya, but the first one was a gargoyle, the second one was a minotaur, you'd think the third one would follow the same pattern, right?

Weird gargoyle.
Was there a minotaur in book two?
No, probably not..

Barti was briefly a minotaur at one point, I know.

Ya, I think it was when he was at the museum fighting the golem for the first time. And ya, it is a pretty trippy gargoyle :lol:

The third one was the lioness.

I drew a picture (pencil only) of Barti as a Gargoyle, which I thought looked ok.

I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

From the scene when Nat summoned him back and tried to skewer him with a silver spear.

Didn't the british cover get it wrong then? giving a lioness a mane?

Barti mentioned having a mane when Ptolemy was attacked, so, either he is a Lion, or on purposfully a Lioness with a mane...

Yeah...but he has the amulet on at the time...

I think it may just be an 'all in all' image. Showing us that the amulet will be involved, the firey gate is obviously an image of Ptolemys Gate...fire because Bart is of fire...and also the fact that he takes the form of a lion in the book.

He said that he was a lion, but technically a lioness because he didn't have a mane. He said that manes got in the way of battle.

We saw that come into play during Ptolemy's death/Nat's summoning.

The minotuar was at the museum, yes.

The gargoyle was at the beginning of AoS.

And the alternate book cover for the US is London with an amulet on the front.
