The First Edition as Displayed at 1995 Australian Book Fair.

Sorry about the quality of the.jpgs think I "over writ" them a few too many times.

The words on the cover of the First Edition say...
"Finally, a book that was designed to be judged by it's cover"
It was, the I in BIG looked like O from a distance. The Book Fair experience was unique, it was here that I found out some hard truths. At the same as my novel was being printed a major publishing house had lost a 7 figure chunk on another novel with the word Bong in the title. Trying to even get into an publishers office to say. Listen, if you buy the rights to my book for a couple of million dollars, I'll spend the whole lot on making a movie about the book, which in turn will promote the books that you have printed... In the neon reality of mainstream media, every time I said Big Bong / novel / movie / statue, Well, it was like saying CUNT out loud.

For the " Invoice Outstanding- due to printers error- Second Edition"
the 'I' was improved and the slogan changed to

NOW A VIRTUAL REALITY ;o)
