What a lame excuse: they would have to recreate the artwork. Yeh, in this age of computers, that's a real show stopper.

BG for Blood seems to be the most reviled BG book of all time. I think that's kind of funny. Probably many have Ken's experience -- having trusted its teachings a bit too much. (That's the case with me, although besides disliking the look of that nasty chainsmoker on the cover, I still have a soft place in my heart for this "classic".) The fact that Bruce Becker was a pen name for a still unknown author just adds to its special shelf in BG literature. I wonder which (if either) we'll know first, the true author of BG for Blood or the inventor(s) of the doubling cube.
