I so don't have an eye for that kind of stuff. And I saw an ebook cover that had photos on it. *panic face* I'll have to fiddle some more. <br /><br />And, dude, guys, I was being totally sarcastic about the waiting. Does anyone like watching Cialis commercials? Le sigh.

Hope you don't have to wait too long though, it sounds like a kewl book (and yes I do spell it that way - I was shocked to see it in another comment- ;) way to be Tess).
