Lots Said In A Simple Cover


The book at the right is a bunch of things:
  • A fine example of irony;
  • A vote of 'no confidence' regarding its contents;
  • Proof that a good cover is worth the money;
  • A reason you don't want libraries rebinding your book.
Click here to see the whole cover, and then you'll see what I'm talking about.

Ads from The NYT Book Review

The New York Times, happily releasing their decades of archive articles to the world, has some fun stuff -- such as this collection of advertisments that ran in their book review supplements. Hunter Thompson, of course, is a favorite, but there's enough of everyone's favorites to enjoy. I think the funnest part is looking at these books through the eyes of someone who didn't know these would be classics, or even that these authors would ever amount to anything.
