I don't think it's a bad spine, Andy; RB now gives all its advance reading copies a uniform design, which can work to one's advantage or not. (ARC design could itself make for a juicy blog item; remind me.) Although I might not have gone with the green khaki, the joke is just the ironic confluence of author and title. Who's got other examples of that?
I've been the editor in chief of The Horn Book, Inc, since 1996; previously editor of The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books and a children's and young adult librarian. Received my M.A. in library science from the University of Chicago in 1982 and a B.A. from Pitzer College in 1978.

When I read your entry I didn't know if your book truck was new or it was full of new books. . . ah the beauty of the English language.
Sorry, new-book truck!
Roaring Brook is generally diligent about design, too. Consider their dominance in Caldecott Medals over the past five years.
No need to start calling people names...
