The cover of The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie, featuring a green flag with a golden lion on it amidst a fiery battle scene.
Joe Abercrombie's frankly unimpressive signature on the title page of the book. It looks like 'Jull', perhaps a portmanteau of Jethro and Tull, and a tribute to the band.
The spine of the book at a slightly diagonal angle. There's a golden lion on that as well.
The inside front flap of the dust jacket which provides a synopsis of the book, that I can't be arsed to type out. Brock and Savine are having some kind of disagreement about the way things should be going or something.
