I'll never be able to own it though, because I bought your book hardcover already. :) Great, by the way, kept me reading to the end. Great cover!

I busted up laughing and I was rolling from side to side for over a minute. And even then I couldn't glance at my computer before bursting into fits of giggles every single time. If I didn't love the book already I would have to buy it just for this. I'm not a paperback girl, but this really may be an exception. Oh my gosh, that is the best cover I’ve ever seen.

Its got that elusive quality of being simple and striking, i.e. it will grab the eye when making a quick scan of books. Plus it produces an immediate curiosity - is the book really about hitting fairies with hammers? congrats on a lucky one! This is a great cover.
