See, I was trying to avoid mentioning the tiny arms, twisty neck and lack of byline, by highlighting the good bit and then you all went and… [sigh] :^D

Wait, what’s the rule on making words that end in “s” plural? Don’t you just add: ‘s (quotes on this comment looked weird.). Wouldn’t “Elvis’” be the PLURAL possessive of “Elvi?” Which actually sounds like a plural of something. (Elf, maybe?)
Either way is correct, although convention rules in certain instances (you almost always see Jesus’ instead of Jesus’s, for instance) — it really comes down to house style.
{The Chicago Manual of Style agrees with you about the apostrophe, but it wimps out and covers the bases in section 7.23, which says (paraphrasing) that if you are unable to follow the rules, just stick an apostrophe somewhere.}

The landscape at the bottom is nice.
It’s nice, but it has me wondering if the message from Elvis is that we all need to move to the Shire and start living in hobbit holes.
This may be the single greatest cover you have ever posted, bar none.
embrace me, oh tiny armed ghost elvis
The author preferred to remain anonymous on this cover?
The second Elvis ghost book this week. Is this a new genre?
Whoever Elvis is hugging looks like her head is spinning around a la The Exorcist.
Why is this on Lousy Book covers? It’s the greatest cover in the history of our Lord.
Haha this is amazing.
The book summary is definitely worth reading too and actually makes the cover slightly more bewildering.

Grammar is a harsh mistress.

Elves…
Grammar is a Nazi.
The Elvi apparently inhabit UFOs.

I simply can’t accept this art unless it’s velvet. Oh, and where the heck is that woman’s pea soup? Get her some pea soup!
