Fantasy Book Critic is holding a contest. Twenty lucky winners will be awarded an advance reading copy of Joe Abercrombie’s fantasy debut The Blade Itself.
Meanwhile, here is the final full jacket of the book. This was composed by Jaqueline Cooke, following the original design by Laura Brett. Astute readers will notice font changes from the UK edition, though we share the letter “h.” Also the final printed version will see gold foil used to limn the title and author’s name, with the arrow design and the words “the first law: book one” in solid foil.
“If you’re fond of bloodless, turgid fantasy with characters as thin as newspaper and as boring as plaster saints, Joe Abercrombie is really going to ruin your day. A long career for this guy would be a gift to our genre.”- Scott Lynch, author of The Lies of Locke Lamora

Can I just drop in a mention for Joe Abercrombie’s website, which is currently in holding-page mode at http://www.joeabercrombie.com. The full site is currently in development and should be launching towards the end of the month.
Yeah, thanks for that. I was holding off blogging it till it was fully up, but plan to tout it when it is!
