Yes I also own this and can’t believe it’s real (and not priceless!)

I complain (if you let me) about artwork not getting credited on paperbacks, but on this paperback the artwork actually gets MIScredited (to R. McGinnis instead of the correct Mitchell Hooks).

Grateful to readers who are even nerdier about this shit than I am ❤️ Thanks for the heads-up!
