How to Be Inappropriate

Design by Alvaro Villanueva

This is so spot on: it really is inappropriate to forgo a belt when wearing a nice pair of trousers.

I think this design is really, really great. It's sarcastic, caustic, eye-catching-- everything you want to sell a book with off-color subject matter.

It's great.

The only problem with this design, though, is the possible embarassment you might feel when you take this book to the cashier. I love it and think it's very funny, but...

Is that his thumb? Talk about underselling yourself.

Love the choice of font colours. Very textbook-in-the-seventies.

This cover made me laugh out loud when I saw it, perfectly eye catching.

Great article as for me. It would be great to read something more about this theme.
By the way check the design I've made myself Companionship in London
