A Tale of Two Sisters

The subject of this is (surprise!) sisters in London. Contemporary London. Yeah, I don't get the Wild West type either.

In The Wake

Forget the picture -- yes, this book is about a family that drowns -- and look at that letter spacing. And now tell yourself that you'll *never* do anything like that.

Special Topics in Calamity Physics

Since this book is getting so much press, I thought I would post the cover. I don't really feel strongly one way or the other. So what do you think?

Schrodinger's Ball

The cat I get. But is there something called Schrodinger's Pastrami Sandwich that I should know about?

The Dissident

What it's about:

Yuan Zhao, a celebrated Chinese performance artist and political dissident, has accepted a one year's artist's residency in Los Angeles.

I see both California *and* China in this. Nice, nice work.

The Girls; Half Life

Two quite different approaches to novels about conjoined twins. And finally, a jacket with feet that makes sense :-)

The Unsayable

If the figure is photographed from the back and already references something that's unsayable, do we really need the blurring of the photo?

Books that Shook the World

I didn't mean to post another series today, but sometimes you just find stuff, ya know?

The Seven Deadly Sins

I had forgotten about these...I was looking for another book called Sloth and *this* Sloth popped up in the search results. My favorites are Greed and Pride. Which are yours?

Beasts of No Nation

Wow...if the front of this book looks like this, I can't imagine how many blurbs are on the back.



UPDATE: Reader Gregg was nice enough to write in:

For the beasts of no nation, all the blurbs are on a removable belly band, I attached what the cover looks like without it. Also, its printed on
uncoated stock and yes, even more blurbs on the back!

Thanks, Gregg! Here's the cover w/o the band:
