Finally, following three other scraped titles, I had a brainstorm and instituted the current title to reflect the poems and artwork in the fashion that they were created and incorporate ‘Gypsy’ into the title because that is what the book is about. It is about a mind that will not settle on being just placated. It is about a gypsy who searches, as we all do for a place to call her own spiritual centre of our Universe. And finally, I used the reference to the 5 Pillars of Islam (renamed by the gypsy) to reflect places in the Middle East that deeply, deeply affected my own perception of people, religion, misconceptions and realisations and ultimately my art and poetry/prose.

You nailed it – the art will be compromised in e-book format in my opinion but not for those who absolutely love their i-pads etc.
Amazon has just opened up the EU market too…
Your support is greatly appreciated as I think word-of-mouth is the best publicity any writer could ask for! so tell your friends and invite them to the journey… would be wonderful.
