Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Really? Because this one seems to not be illustrated:
Huh -- honestly, I'm more confused now, since hitting "look inside" on that one goes to the illustrations I'm familiar with. I'll amend my statement to say that there may have been an unillustrated version, but if so I've never seen it and it strikes me as a sad thing. Because oh, so very lovely.
Anyway, to answer your question from before about whether it'll be an appropriate gift for someone fairly prudish, this summer's hardcover edition isn't actually a new set of illustrations, so you'll be able to pick up the (illustrated) paperback to judge whether they'll hit the wrong buttons.

Huh. This one [link] is what it says you're seeing when you click the "look inside" on the other paperback I linked to. But the illustrated paperback wasn't showing up when I tried searching Amazon.
But anyway, I decided to get 1602 instead -- I know that he'll like that one.

Believe me, I'm shaking my tiny fist at these internets and their silly reluctance to let me just run to the shelf and say "see! this one! with the pretty pictures like this!"... anyway, I hope he loves 1602.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't even let your cursor linger over the link, because the URL is spoilerrific too, but saw this on WX and wanted to bring it over. It's supposed to be a scan of a page from HP7.
I have no strong opinion either way, really.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I don't care either way about the spoiler, but you couldn't have warned that it has sound?

The spoiler in the first half of the URL (the what happens rather than why) has always seemed pretty inevitable. We don't know that it IS a spoiler of course.

I can't really see how it can avoid happening either, really.
