Dear American Airlines

Design by Post Typography

Man traveling to his estranged daughter's wedding pens a complaint letter to American Airlines after his flight is canceled.

I can't get beyond thinking that when I get stuck in the airport, it's with a laptop; there's neither a pen nor a pad of paper in sight. And I haven't actually handwritten a letter in a decade. So I'm hoping that the handwritten-on-paper letter tells us something about the protagonist. Has anyone read this? Buy this book from Amazon.com

Hard to fold a laptop into the shape of an airplane (maybe he could have depicted an Apple "air" instead). Why don't we just pretend that he used one of those neat handwriting fonts.

I love it. I'm a sucker for the orange type (does that have anything to do with American Airlines?) and the white-on-white illustration.

Mog: check this out next time you're in the bookstore. If you like orange you'll LOVE the back of this. Now I wish I had taken a photo of it :-(

Not wild about the distressed treatment of the font for "airlines". And is a crashing (paper) plane really the image we want? I do, however, love the orange on white; it looks particularly sharp.
