Has this book been done here before? Sneaky Burrito 9 years ago Reply to L. I was going to say the same thing — I feel like I’ve seen that photo before. Can’t decide whether it’s because I *have* seen the photo before, or because it’s so generic I’ve seen dozens of other photos like it. Tia 9 years ago Reply to Sneaky Burrito It’s the same photo that was used as on the cover of this book — http://www.acuchoice.net/product/the-gift-of-oriental-medicine/ Probably a common stock photo because I’m sure I’ve seen it elsewhere.

This cover is sheer poetry :
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other.

There is a distinct lack of crossroad on this cover for a book called crossroads. I agree.
