Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

It seems that even the great and sales-tacular gets the occasional cover doppleganger.

At least it’s not an image used without permission, I suppose.

Meet Nathan Kamp:

Hi Mr. Kamp!

Meet Nathan Kamp’s Bukkit:

Hi Mr. Kamp’s Bukkit!

See Mr. Kamp’s Romance Cover:

But wait! Mr. Kamp does not like the color of her dress!

It’s soon to Turkey Day here in the United States of Carbs, and we’re happy to inspire your appetite, or perhaps drive it deep into the earth to hide until Groundhog’s Day, by allowing you to view and caption the following cover. What are they saying? What are they thinking? Dear GOD won’t someone think of the children? The blank eyed, oddly staring creepy children?

Best caption as chosen by me gets a $20 gift certificate to Amazon or Powell’s, your choice. Feel free to nudge my voting by telling me which in the comments is your fave.

And now… the cover. Feast (hur) your eyes on this!

Enough teasing. We’re ridiculously amused by our cover, and it’s about time we showed it to you, so, you ready?

It’s a work of art, a book cover… well, really it’s visual game we call Find the Hidden Phalli with your hosts, Sarah, Candy, and Touchstone/Fireside.

The cover of the Smart Bitch Book, Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance, due out 14 April 2009, isn’t at Amazon yet (sorry folks) so this (and our email inbox) is the only place you can find it, and a few other hidden images.

From Karen D come some fine, fine specimens of old-skool Silhouette cover art. We give thanks to Karen, and to the used book store romance pile from which she rescued these cultural icons.
