You gotta go with it I guess, but do you have any proofs of a cover with the working title?

I can't remember the last time I asked a sales clerk for advice on what to buy, but I can see the point. OTOH, eventually there should be a _Dzur_, right? What are they going to do with that? What did they do with _Dzurlord_? > There are some things I think are vital, and that I will insist > on.

When will _The Paths of the Dead_ hit store shelves?
