Yay!!! Do you like the covers, aren't they brilliant? The anthology has two covers because the book has stories that read from left to right and some that read from right to left, so you can open the book either way. The amazing \u003Cb>Warwick Johnson Cadwell\u003C/b> has even made a palindromic comic in the centre (meaning you can read it both ways). \u003Ca href=\"http://www.etsy.com/shop/failboatpress\">You can buy it here on Etsy\u003C/a> and I'll bring some along to Inverness for \u003Ca href=\"http://www.hi-ex.co.uk/\">Hi-Ex comics festival\u003C/a> on 27 & 28 March.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/bsongcover1-e83e62d91a.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/bsongcover2-0e71aa2107.jpg\"> \\r\n\u003Ci>A5 size, 80 pages, colour covers, black and white pages\u003C/i>\\r\n\u003C!--more Peek at artwork under the cut!!!-->\\r\nYou can't believe how chuffed I was to be in a book with WJC, I had a bit of a fan-girl meltdown \u003Ca href=\"http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/241239.html\">when I last saw him at BICS\u003C/a>, totally abandoning my book stall to take one of the most talented illustrators in Britain for a drink.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/bsong_wjc-6f928cba7f.jpg\"> \\r\n\u003Ci>From \u003Cb>The Defenders of Albion\u003C/b> by Warwick Johnson Cadwell\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nThis book is choc-a-bloc with talent, and I love how this story is set in my own neighbourhood.
