Hey! Shouldn't someone have told me this?


Someone dropped me a note mentioning that my book showed up for pre-order on Amazon.com. So, now I know a lot of things I didn't know before-- like what the cover will look like, and the list price ($16). Huh! I kind of like the black cover-- it reminds me a bit of the classic art for Spinal Tap's album Smell The Glove. I fear that perhaps I am to religious analysis what Spinal Tap was to music.

While nosing around Amazon, I also found out for the first time that apparently I have been cited in books about various things, including Martha Stewart, distributive justice, juvenile law, and overcriminalization. Why is it that of those four, I most want to find out about Martha Stewart?

Comments:
There have been rumors for years that much of Martha Stewart's domestic prowess was plagiarized indirectly, if not directly, from Professor Osler's personal journals on style, decor, and his famous law review article on the use of chicory.

It's a good thing.
 
Damn you, Martha Stewart!

Oh, and the law review thingee was about chicanery, not chicory.
 
Martha Stewart? Like you thought she should have received more time for being a liar?
 
That doesn't really look like a crown of thorns, it looks more like a high tech crown some metal guitar player might wear.
 
IPLG--

It's a crown of razor wire, like they have on prison walls. Sigh.
 
slick looking cover. well done.
 
IPLG --

Yes. I would wear that.
 
Nice, minimalist cover, very French. Will it be in stores by Christmas?
 
Razor Wire. Oh. That'll leave a mark.

Who knows what works?

I see that you ignored our advice to use the middle name "Stephen King" or "John Grisham."
 
And what IS Chicanery anyway? Is it like Plover or the Rule in Shelley's case?
 
Oh, man. I just got the pun in the fact that the cover art is "Razor" wire.
 
The cover looks very...metal? for some reason.
