"Planet Simpson" Blog and Book Covers

John Bristowe reminded me of the existence of the Planet Simpson blog, which chronicles Planet Simpson author Chris Turner’s adventures in book promotion. It’s written mostly by Turner’s wife, Ashley Bristowe (also a friend of mine from Crazy Go Nuts University).

I just noticed this: the cover of the book varies with region. Here’s

the Canadian cover, featuring a donut (Canadians are said to consume more donuts per capita than any other nation on Earth):

For those of you who live in the land chronicled by the Big Book of British Smiles, here’s your cover:

And for our American friends, the “Duff Beer” cover. No idea if it’s

regular Duff or one of the specialty editions such as Duff Lite, Lady

Duff or Tartar-Control Duff:
