Item one: the difference in spelling between the front cover and spine.

Item two: "Female SF writers are a rarity; good ones even scarcer!"

If anyone wants to play guess-the-publisher before clicking through to the photos, feel free. That said, I'm still looking forward to reading it.

Well, Jaine is good -- but that tag line is shameful and what I've come to expect from said publisher. I feel a revolution coming on.

No offence taken m'dear. I've been reading my own PR with increasing incredulity, but the comment about being 'young' did make me fall off my chair.
