An embedded scroll box is messy looking, better to have a snippet on the home page and a link to a full item without the trapped in a box look. Also the date formatting is off and shouldn't be going through the line... likewise for the links on the right, Reviews is too close to the top line and the spacing looks bad... regardless if you wanted them inside the box or not, the current spacing can be tweaked to make it look more professional.
The art is a nice choice however, and the layout is clean, but it needs some tweaks. three stars...
