Murder in Samarkand: Difference between revisions

A minor controversy involved the choice of photographs on the 2007 paperback edition, two of the three photos having been the same as those previously appearing in the 2004 ''[[Lonely Planet]]'' guide to Central Asia by [[Bradley Mayhew]], [[Paul Clammer]] and [[Michael Kohn]]. Neither shows [[Samarkand]]. The rear cover of ''Murder in Samarkand'' uses the same photo of [[Bukhara]] that was the guide book's cover photo. Murray's front cover uses a sunset scene that had appeared on page 7 of the guide (and shows [[Khiva]]).<ref>''Lonely Planet: Central Asia'' page 7</ref> There were no copyright issues in this case as both photos were licensed through [[Getty Images]].<ref>''Murder in Samarkand'', back page credit</ref><ref>''Lonely Planet: Central Asia'', page 512 credit</ref> Murray has stated he did not choose the cover and does not like its "masculine" appearance.
