Yeah, when I saw the word Magic in that font when scrolling up from the last post, I thought it was a Magic the Gathering thing and then I noted the thread I'd clicked on. The image outline is nice so far.
Yeah, but four other people do, and there'd likely be more.
You know, other than having a texture, I don't see a similarity in the font at all.

Magic has been using an orange text on its website and for other promo work - http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Summoner/ - and they likely have the copyright/trademark specific to that color, too. That's where you could run into trouble.
First paragraph sounds pretty good.
As for the cover, I think everything looks great except the face. It looks like the kid's face is aimed elsewhere and doesn't fit what is otherwise a beautiful image. Don't know what happened there.
If no one else noticed the Magic thing, then it's probably a fluke with us, and even if not, I doubt anyone would really give you shit about it.

Who are you doing the paperback with? Createspace?
I'll be curious.
But man are there some profit-sucking yutzes on there, charging $19 for a 170 page mass market paperback book (you know, the little ones). That's just BS.
On the cover art: when you zoom out (to more like the size an actual book would be rather than stretched across our monitors) the face looks more like it's aiming where it should.

That smaller size "I" is annoying me to the point of distraction, but that's a goofy nitpick.
One of the authors was charging $19 for a 174 5 x 8 book. I think that's a rip-off.
Sounds like you have the right idea--and sounds like Createspace does better with its base prices than Lulu.
Save costs, increase royalties, or meet between those. Either way, if you think you can make $40 off the book (and considering your support here and your site's popularity, I think you've nothing to worry about) then it sounds like a good idea.
In fact, looking it over is making me reconsider if I want to collect stuff from my site using Lulu anymore. I think I'd have to purchase a paperback from each site and see how I felt about the quality, but CreateSpace certainly caters more to pricing between reader and author. (Anyone remember when Cafepress did print-out books? Shiiiiit. Pages falling out, cover print not lined up properly. No wonder David Willis re-released book 1 of Roomies with another company.)

Hey Tin, should we expect to see this in time for the holidays?
When you have your hands on it and are ready to sell, send me a PM and tell me price + shipping.
Since the e-copy is ready to go, how's the physical?
Damn, that first reviewer and his/her kids are a group fast as hell readers.
Very cool, man. I think Amazon should cross-reference the eBook reviews onto the page of the physical book. I might just order from them since I'm an impatient type of person.
And awesome on the eBook sales--you're gonna make back the Pro Plus (or whatever it's called) pay in no time at this rate.

Damn, man. That's great!
(Embarrassed I had to look up what a score was.)
How come Amazon says they're out of stock? Did you put it on hold?
Did you have to pay a processing fee? I remember reading that it was $25 to upload a new version.
(Also, was it where it says "the gods way" early on? Because that should be gods' way).
Oh, cool.
I also see they've finally connected the Kindle version to the print version.

4.99 Kindle version?
