Dec 25
And it thus came to pass that the Mighty Lord Weber created the one thing which could instantly bring tears to the eyes of mortal men. Together around the campfire elves sat covered in blankets, drinking mead, talking to their wenches and wielded a single lute. But most importantly and what would soon become legend, they had ridiculous ears.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Day!

Have to admit this is one of the covers that started it all. I do believe this cover made two men nearly fall over laughing in the middle of a high street book store.
Anyway… Christmas Ham! mmm MMMMM!

Those ears are evidently a babe magnet. I want me some of that earage.

Well you know what they say about men with big ears.
They are actually blind and find their way through the use of a sonic sonar.
I am sure they say something else too.

They’re not elves. They’re actually the orc-analogues of his world. And they’re supposed to look funny.

I’m actually honoured to now own this book. I found it in a sale for only 2 quid!
But you know the quality of the cover when the cashier actually looks at the book, then looks at me saying ‘interesting cover’.
Of course I burst into tears instantly, sobbing, ‘DON’T JUDGE ME!’
Just kidding, about the crying part. There was just something in my eye.

There are sequels. The second book’s cover is about this bad.
The third is the worst book cover I have ever seen. Windrider’s Oath, if you want to GIS it for a laugh.
