I thought Sweet had already finished it. Still, a white cover would certainly be appropriate, considering the title of the novel.

Of course, I am equally impressed that anynone (you) picked up on said subtlety.

Okay, if Robert Jordan did indeed plant that whole idea of Taralan / Great Arvalon, I am deeply impressed. I'm also ticked off at how subtle it was. Hnestly, I can't think of another instance where an author put in something as obscure as a clue in a signature line. Clues are usually hidden in off-handed comments or descriptions... I'm now officialy boggled.

"Costume" blades are pretty, but if you smack one it'll most likely snap at the hilt and the metal of the blade itself will bend and the edge dent. Anyone know if this sword is a costume blade, or is it instead "battle ready" (i.e. could actually be used)? I think it's a bit expensive if it's just a costume piece.
