Keep climbing, baby.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I actually like both editions for different reasons (yeah, I know we're just talking asthetics here...but - !):
I love Whelan's art but there's something about the UK cover that really grabs me. Don't know whether it's the black and gold OR whether it's because it looks different from a lot of the other covers on books at the moment. That said, I think the US book format (font, layout etc) is a lot nicer than the UK version.
Sorry...I know this is *not* what this thread is supposed to be about! But it's my thread and....
ONLY JOKING!
GO RUNES...we should lay bets on what number it will be next week! I'm thinking about #11!

I haven't been able to locate a UK best sellers chart on the net so far. It's at 59 in amazon.co.uk's Hot 100 Books though. Twenty places behind Iain M. Banks' latest, which I think is pretty good going. I have to wonder how sales will have been effected by Waterstones' inability to stock it though.
Q. Why do Communists drink herbal tea?
A. Because proper tea is theft.
