was this written by a bot?
“obscured mystery”?
and don’t get me started on the incoherent blurb that insists this book is one “every historian must red”

I’m just saying the cover is probably the least of this book’s problems.

I must say that I am honored to have been promoted to a verb, with all the fame and fortune and everything that goes with it. I thank you all.

But is it a bed of roses?

“By Mark Antony.” Sure.

But I’ll admit the part that bothers me the most is the fact that the “T” that starts the tagline is cut off. I get people with no artistic talent (heck, I’m one of them). I get people who don’t understand graphic design (again, see above). I even get people who fall in love with obscure fonts and keep using them even after it becomes obvious that they’re unreadable. But you couldn’t be bothered to look at your cover and make sure that all the text actually made it onto the page? You were too lazy to do the two-minute exercise of moving the text box over a couple of centimeters?

If you can’t be bothered to do that, I can’t be bothered to read your book.
