	I liked the earlier advertisement better.

	That earlier advert was cool, but with that we would have completely lost the gold theme. This keeps the gold theme and gives us croc! Visit The Young Bond Dossier, now the OFFICIAL site for Young Bond news

	That cover is sweet. I am snapping that book up when it is released. It is the same as the other 3 books layout and size wise. I'm looking forward to seeing the back cover with the font and crocs on the back. Again, such a brilliant cover. One of the very best.

	This cover is the best Hurricane Gold cover to date. I liked the all gold theme, which this still retains, but you can't beat a good piece of artwork on the front.

Gold is in the name though. You don't have to use it as a theme on the cover especially if you already did it for the hardcover. Goldfinger wasn't gold and that one had more to do with gold then this one did.

	True. But I still like it. In fact, I think it's my favorite of the UK covers. Visit The Young Bond Dossier, now the OFFICIAL site for Young Bond news

	Very nice. Glad they decided to release it in line with the other three Young Bond paperbacks I'm guessing it's subject to change, but interesting to see Charlie's name is slightly larger than on the other covers. Could this be due to the fact he's now a "mega-selling" author?

	Yeah, I noticed that too. Also notice the Young Bond logo is alone in the corner. Usually it's merged with a sentence about it being a "bestseller". I expect we will see some changes. I'm actually surprised we're seeing this as early as we are. Visit The Young Bond Dossier, now the OFFICIAL site for Young Bond news
