The cover picture has the crane from Box with the wrong pincers that couldn't have lifted anything, still looks good though, I'll have one of these I think.

We've actually used a slightly different (and better!) image on the front cover for the production versions of this book. It will appear on our website shortly and on Amazon when they get around to it (very slow at things like that!).

Just looking at the booklist on follybooks...

...I thought the book was 'disasters underground'? That's what my cover says anyway.

 

[upthedump]

Yep... I didn't publish this one... just wrote it (about ten years ago). It was published by Pen & Sword Books. This is another example of Amazon using a pre-production cover image and not bothering to subsequently update it.

Given the author's website I'm sure this will be a cracker, although seems amusing he's let a 28 member's shot go in there.
