Also pretty!

I have long admired the cover art for Michael Buckley's Sisters Grimm series. They're truly beautiful books, with packaging that confidently asserts: "Yes, these books are going to be instant classics." But beauty costs money, and Buckley's publishers were understandably reluctant to produce a paperback version of the books until they'd milked every drop of available cash from their hardcover cow. Happily for cash-strapped young readers everywhere, that has finally happened: paperback versions of Buckley's first two books will be available in April, and I'm happy to report that they're A) almost as gorgeous as the hardcover versions, and B) a mere $5.95.
