Judging a Book?
THE CURSED ONES, which is the first CRUSADE novel, was just published in the United Kingdom. Here is the cover:

Both THE CURSED ONES and CRUSADE are the same book, except for the cover.

Purrrfect Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fan, Meet Oliver the Cat
Erin, my assistant, received a big shipment of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 2 and 3 books yesterday from Simon and Schuster. Thank you S&S!
