1. For fans who prefer an agonizing reading experience.
2. When the art director demands CHAOS, Clifton-Dey delivers!
You might remember this from here . And some recycled shit here .

Bibliomancer’s Art Direction: Sorry Mr. Burroughs but your first Mars book didn’t sell many copies in our Southern bookstores. Perhaps you need a more menacing villain. Our new cover artist has some fresh ideas.

A hunky half-naked muscle encrusted man standing in a strange mist, while casting a magic fireball from his hand. The book’s called flame, so how could we not have one! Though, to go one step further, have him looking thoughtfully at the fire in his hand. That way people will think he’s all sensitive and deep.

Book Wench Comments: ‘Fear in Firland’ is a true masterpiece, written in the 1970s by the vicar of Ladywood, it has all the worst bits of Narnia thrown in with some Native American (?) possibly Middle Ages… something… Any cover that can combine flying saucers and squirrels are okay with me!

And it thus cameto passthat 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 andwieldeda singlelute. But most importantly and what would soon become legend,they hadridiculous ears.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Day!
