As has already been mentioned, a dust jacket with the faux cover would be an excellent way to do this. You could even have cabaret chicks ice-dancing on the front and a list of blurbs about the wonderful adventures that skating burlesque shows have to offer.

What? You mean this isn't the cover they are going to publish it with: http://members.shaw.ca/hai-etlik/tmp/CCoI.png

Now all that's needed is a spine with the title, the back-cover, and the inside flaps. It could be pretty entertaining.

Indeed, Low-Tech Companion 3 will have 500 words on the arts of brewing and distilling; stats for "brewer" as a low-tech job; and of course Professional Skill (Brewer) and Professional Skill (Distiller). Low-Tech will have 300 words on drinking and smoking, if all you want is costs and such. No low-cut, low-friction ice dancers, though – although there will be rules for two sorts of skates.

Snicker.

In all seriousness, if Steve Jackson's Games and the associated parties were willing to give a pass on copyright/trademark/look and feel issues for such a thing, I'd be willing to pony up some cash for a limited PoD run of dust covers like that. Could make for some interesting convention giveaway freebies or collector's items, albeit targeted toward a small, exclusive market. The authors names could even be changed to their online handles or something to protect the innocent.

[Please note: I am not advocating any sort of IP theft here. Such a project should only go forward with the full knowledge and permission of Steve Jackson's Games, its stakeholders, and associates.]

I doubt it looks as well with dice as on a rink anyway.
