 <p>Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
 I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
-the <ahref="">Free Culture</a> book we are translating to Norwegian,
-and I wanted it in vector format for high resolution printing when I
-get the book printed on paper.  But my inkscape knowledge were not
-nearly good enough to pull that off.

 <p>But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up

 <p>I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
 do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and

 <p>The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
