“My careful, life-long study of women has led me to one inexorable conclusion, one universal which can be applied to any woman in any situation: women won’t sleep with me, or even talk to me, because I keep stalking them with a magnifying glass.”
Francois, mon sweetie! I simply mean that while that’s not Michelangelo, it’s not dreadful either. The sketch. If you wanted a cover that had that sort of 1950’s handmade drawing homage-i-ness, or the like, why in the name of all that’s holy would one use that godawful, egregiously overused and to top it off, fugly font? Lucida Handwriting? It makes my Typography Heart hurt.
Oh, the humanity–the dirigible of this book’s flight is crashing as I watch it. So sad…
