I think the book covers for the books could be so much more imaginative, to match the content of the books. Quite frankly, I've been disappointed by the versions available in the states and the ones available in the UK are not much of an improvement. I would love to see a competition for new book covers for the series.

Is anyone else interested?

Hi Mariel,

I think that the book jackets are in the domain of the publisher (and I must admit to liking the "second-hand" style of the U.K. hardback dust covers).

Even if someone could come up with a professional-quality series of jackets, they would still need to convince the publisher of the need to change.

You will find a huge range of pies and perhaps some drinks and cakes in the Nextian Chat forum. Chocolate may be available.

No, they are not.

Speckles has been back.

Fortunately as those pies are 4 years old, Speckles is welcome to them.

I think that you will find that Specles is well enough aware of the dangers of falling through a pie crust to be wary of eating all the pies.
