Why do I keep reading this product title as "Elder Elvis"?

I'm not trying to write the next great fantasy novel. I'm not an amateur thespian. Nor am I a number crunching, power gaming munchkin, or a rules lawyer. I'm not trying to emulate my favorite movie or novel. I'm not here to tell you how to play or that how you play is wrong or right. I'm neither a "role" or "roll" player. I'm here to have fun. I'm here to enjoy high adventure. I'm a D&D player. Pick up your dice, and start rolling. I'm here to play.

HINT: Gaming comes down to having fun. If somebody at the table doesn't have the same expectations as the rest of the group, you're going to have trouble. Doesn't matter if it's rule set preferences, roll vs. role play, or bringing the right munchies. You need to set the expectations for the campaign when you gen chars or you are going to get hosed at some point.
This has a cover of Elder Evils. Does anyone know where they got this cover from? This is the first time I've seen it. Is it in the winter catalog?
I believe that cover is from the Dungeon that featured the last adventure of the Age of Worms AP. If not the cover of the magazine, then the intro art to the adventure itself.
I hope this book is good.
Is it supposed to be edition proof too?
I dont really see the point in a book of super bad guys if no stats are used.
The sense unnamed people I know got when writing the book (and contrary to what the cover says, Mr. Schwalb did not write it all himself) was that it was meant as a campaign ender. In hindsight, I imagine it's meant to serve the same purpose as those 2e adventures that destroyed worlds to allow for 3e makeovers.
Does that make sense? There were 3.5 stats included in the turnovers that unnamed people I know sent in.

I was hoping it would be a catalog of cthuloid horrors such as Bolothamogg, Holashner, Piscaethces, Shothotugg & Y’chak. That would be in line with the term Elder Evils used in Lords of madness.

Several of the unnamed people I know where hoping the same thing. Alas, it was not meant to be.
But from the sections I've seen, it looks like it should be fairly cool nonetheless.

Man, I had FUN with the Apocalypse Stone. Nearly blew up my own 20-year-old campaign world, and put some serious scare in some (low) epic-level characters.
I had basically switched off all 3e products, but the mere sight of the big K on the cover of this baby has got me interested.
...and for the record, Paizo crew, Age of Worms is (in 25 years of DMing) the best and most enjoyable published series of adventures I have ever run. It's also my group's favorite campaign to date as well. From the syringe-wielding Filge, all the way up to the big show-downs with Dragotha and Kyuss. Thanks for that.
