I hope the publishers are reading this. |

Please. Not your local library. Do you realise the ammount of paperwork we'd have to do if we caught you? Why not rip the covers off Jim Davidson's biographies instead? I know I have. Muah ha ha! Pete. The cultured anarchist librarian. And that's a US edition, I believe. Ours is bound to look different. Cheers, Pete |

I find that if you put your hands over you eyes the cover looks a lot better

Well's The War of the Worlds happening in America. I can't see the UK defacing the daddy of science fiction, our daddy. But if they have then lets attack the library’s and book stores just like motile suggested. All in favour say I! |

You know what sort of bugs me...is when someone says "I hope the publishers are reading this." It sort of seems like that person is too lazy to actually send a letter or e-mail to the Publishers showing the community's distaste for the cover. Maybe the reason you don't do it is that they probably won't care. That edition should dissapear fast though. Once the movie is finally released...new ones sporting the movie's images will no doubt rise. |

He totally screwed up the screenplay!" -Gnorn |
