This is the full and detailed views of the dustcover for the Italian paperback edition of A Thief of Time. This edition was published in 1990 by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore in Milan, Italy. Tony Hillerman's original text was translated from English to Italian by A.M. Francavilla.
Cover Design and Photography Credits: The cover was illustrated by Prieto Muriana and the book was designed by Staff Milano. The cover art features the black-on-white ceramic vessel from Peter Thorpe's cover for the first edition of A Thief of Time. Behind the pottery in the background is a print of presumably a Chacoan Cliff House, seeing as the book is mostly set in Chaco Canyon and incorporates the theft of Ancient Puebloan (Anasazi) pottery.
