One good reason to be happy that the world didn't come to an end. :lol:

Is that the cover? :o

Not impressed that much.

It´s horrible, I agree. I asked them to have another one, but apparently this is the type of cover needed to sell the book, in the publisher´s opinion. And if they feel that way, I don´t have the time to argue about such things. As long as the words inside the covers remain the same ... ( I wrote a post on my swedish homepage about how Universal music actually granted me the rights to use the lyrics for Thank you for the music, without having to pay or anything. One of the few instances where I don´t have to take out lyrics from songs in the english translation of my books)
The only consolation in regards to the cover is that they´ve promised to have a different one on the paperback.
And the australian one is really quite OK.
