New cover?

Okay, where did you find that? I haven't had a copy back yet.

I have a theory that JD is actually a time traveller, a bit like Kirk and co in Star Trek 4, and is carefully timing his posts to give Robert a leg-up in producing the new books... To what end, I have not yet discovered - but I shall plunder his bins until the truth can be told!!
I'm not sure that would stand up in court, but it's a good start 
Nick, I have been trying to contact you via the message service here but it does not work. Email me (or do you have my email?)
Edit: Ignore all this below, Rachel has sorted it out! 
I know, I've been tearing my hair out at this end thinking I'd managed to wreck something and it was all my fault! I'm brought low by technology... it's a sorry state of affairs

What a happy co-incidence, I shall be attending The Asylum and would thus be happy to offer my services as a Steward for the evening in repetition of last year 

Is there to be a Sprout launch too, or just the Asylum one?
When can we expect the proofs to start appearing?

Soon I hope, I thought this weekend would see one on eBay but no...
Only 4 weeks b4 the launch, will an ARC ever be released?

Ah, there you have the advantage of me!I do now. I tried a little lateral thinking earlier on*, and sent an email to Rachel's address - but unfortunately I don't have your address.
I've sent you another message with my address in the subject line, which should be readable - if it's not then you can get me on removed, no need now!
*not easy, I've got a rotten cold and the whole world is a wooly place right now.
