The 'up'-ness of the boxes sort of suggests this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-28016051455489155712007-02-05T17:18:00.000-06:002007-02-05T17:18:00.000-06:00i believe it is part of a series, covers designed ...i believe it is part of a series, covers designed by Keenan ...jason rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500522354522578760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-14153377240837113332007-02-05T17:09:00.000-06:002007-02-05T17:09:00.000-06:00Could be that it refers to the unpacking of meanin...Could be that it refers to the unpacking of meaning, which is the project of hermeneutics? <br />I also thought of the cliche "out of the box" (Bruno being a heretic and free-thinker). <br />The main question for me, though, is not about the image, but this: why is the author's name so front and center?
