Okay. Thank you. I’m personally relieved.;)

Don’t worry, David, I didn’t spike any of your books…

Morgan, you must have a lot of books.

Bryan, the very idea of a book and nail sends shivers through my writer’s bones.

Paul, we’ve got this one long room in our house, with no windows on the main wall. A while back I designed shelves using brick and boards that covered all of that long wall and a good section of another side. It was way more space than I had books at the time. That’s actually why I started facing books out, to use up more space. Five years later, however, and I’m finding the available space is definitely dwindling…

Adam, I just looked up the Sun of Suns. Yeah, it’s cool. Duly noted.

Karl Schroeder’s Sun of Suns cover is pretty striking, too. It’s just wtf enough and just cool enough to make you wonder what’s inside.

I need more shelves so I can face out books.

David: I agree on the Boneshaker cover. It draws you in completely.

Well, I once actually built a sort of mural out of actual books. Arranged and attached them to a backing and hung ‘em on a wall. Looked pretty great, actually, though I had to take it apart eventually for a move. Might do it again someday, though. Book as art object - bibliophiles always loved it. Well, everything except the nails…

I often face out books on my shelves, too. I’m glad to know that I’m not alone.

The Boneshaker cover is my favorite steampunk cover so far.
