When viewed in the model viewer, one can see a publicity blurb on the back of the book. I've transcribed it here:

''Inred in the blood, bound in the hide and written on the stolen paper of British kings! With over 400 pages of spells, enchantments, recipes and anecdotes about blowing things up, the Bombinomicon is a must-have for the practicing explosives aficionado and demolitions expert alike. Now in its fifteenth printing, every copy of the Bombinomicon is guaranteed to be possessed by an angry talking ghost.''
 
 
 
''"If ye gaze at one tome this year, MAKE IT NOT THIS ONE" - Merasmus the Magician''
 
 
 
''"Unputdownable! This book's jaws are like a vise" - Gravel Pit Arts Monthly''
 
 
 
''"If you like the dark arts and explosions, this might very well be the best book you read all year." - Demolition Gazette''
 
 
 
Also beneath this is a torn-off price sticker reading "Discount $6.66".
 
 
 
I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate as the script is very odd and hard to read. Particularly that first word "inred" strikes me as odd, as I don't know if that's a real word.
 
 
 
Would this be worthy trivia to add? I only ask because in the time I spent transcribing it, the former Trivia section was completely removed. [[User:Will-T|Will-T]] 21:11, 27 October 2011 (PDT)
 
: The first word is "Inked" not "Inred". That whole thing might be a little long for a trivia section... I'm not sure where else it would go though. -- [[Image:User Alex2539 Sig.png|47px|link=User:Alex2539|Alex2539]] - {{mod}} <sub>([[User_talk:Alex2539|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|contribs]])</sub> -- 21:27, 27 October 2011 (PDT)
 
:: "Inked" makes sense; I just couldn't make out that first word while staring at it.. Guess we'll see how the page goes, maybe add it someplace later. [[User:Will-T|Will-T]] 22:12, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Is it worth noting that this works with the dead ringer, causing the fake death to be the special explosion? Or should that be left assumed? Haven't been able to test how the gibs produced are (or aren't) effected by disguise at death.
