New batch of old sci-fi

...with some seriously awesome covers.

 

 Depends on where it's growing, I guess.

It's a good thing he has a sword, because he seems to be lacking in other areas....

Is that a green Cheshire cat + space elves?

Oh, I bet I could find you a worse one

Meet the Wives

It's safe to say that there are certain trends in book titles. None, we feel, is more overdone than what we call the "Wife Books."

The Numbered Wives....

The Somebody's Wife....

The best of book geek humor

You could start with the Top Ten List.

I'm sure it made sense to somebody

Okay, so that's a flamethrower.

And that's a.....bag made out of a Santa costume.

And that's a...........riding crop with a bone handle?

And those things would be............whistles? ..................metal nunchucks?
