Someone's Gonna Get Fired

Normally, I decry the publication of special "gift editions" of books already long available in paperback. But every once in awhile, someone gets it dead right, creating an actual work of art that enhances the book. Of course, they will be immediately fired for getting it right.

Take a look at that beeeeyoutiful copy of Christopher Moore's Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. Look at those rounded edges and gilt-edged pages. Look at the shiny, shiny gold on the cover. There's even a red ribbon marker to hold your place. It's brilliant, people!

The book arrives in stores this fall, just in time for Christmas. Moore is in the process of writing a new book, so he won't be touring. But he will sign copies that you can pre-order from Books, Inc. in California.
