In the latest AAA travel magazine, I noticed a sentence about a resort lake, something like "Visitors will enjoy the [how big??] lake's recreational opportunities.."
I once had a novel with a mistake like that inside... at least it seemed like a mistake. It was something like [feeling of something or other] in the middle of a sentence (brackets and all). Though, maybe they were talking telepathically.
It wasn't the designer. That would have to be an early proof of the cover, since they're still waiting for the sub-title. I would guess it never made it to print, but that someone "upstairs" simply uploaded the wrong version of the cover in digital format, it got picked up by various sites and there you have it.
I worked in a public library. I saw literally thousands of books every week; the good, the bad, and the truly hideous. These are the covers from the latter category. Joining me (Maughta) is the ever-popular pinch hitter (and handy husband) DocTurtle.

Ouch. Someone's head must've rolled over that one.

(Sorry for the 2x post. Could you delete the first?)
I noticed Amazon has the corrected cover, but this one was on Barnes and Noble!
I love it :D

Really, I don't even care how big the lake is.

[I feel like I've lived my whole life inside of brackets.]
This is great! Also, is it me or is the title a little creepy? Maybe that's just the way my mind works. Maybe the subtitle would clear things up.
AH HA! I knew I saw that guy before! He's also the author of I Can Make You Thin! A book I saw one day in Bed, Bath, & Beyond.
He also has "I Can Make You Rich." I'm guessing that the "solution" of the book (i.e. how he will make you sleep) is to recommend his other books.
Or maybe it's all about how you can get rich by selling hypnosis books to unsuspected suckers.
PT Barnum would be proud of this man.
*snicker*
I Can Make You Sleep,
Suggestions for the subtitle:
#1: and never want sex again
#2: forever
#3: which is better than reading my book
#4: I can make you do anything
"The Subtitle Being Written"... that is AMAZING.
Maybe the designer was falling asleep when he sent this unfinished cover?
