Don’t feel so gull-able, it’s all bird $#!% anyways.
Had one of those deja vu “Hey, haven’t I posted this cover before?” moments, eh? Well, even if it’s the same image, it belongs here if it’s on a different cover. That’s how this site works.
Something funny of which this reminded me was kinda the inverse of what you did here: in April 2022, you posted one cover for a book on here, and then in November, you posted another cover for the same book. In all fairness, both covers certainly belonged on here. To compound the weirdness, however, the author eventually went back to using the first cover on his book again, and so it ended up on one of your “new covers for old” postings in 2023 (though it might have been more accurate to call it an “old cover for new” I suppose).
The world (of LBC) is truly stranger than we can imagine.
Had to dig for a while, but I finally found that “New Covers For Old” posting, which (it turns out) was actually this year. As I say, both the old and the new cover were on here, and they both deserved it. What’s especially odd is that Being Jewish In 2025 New York City was one of those “twenty minutes into the future” kind of stories (i.e. set not too many years from its time of publication) about a dystopian New York City persecuting its resident Jews, and as I’d already noted at the time, nobody needed to wait until 2025 to see that happening; also, the author apparently sees no need to retire the book even now that we’re in 2025 and New York City continues to mistreat its resident Jews (albeit maybe not as badly as it did for the last four years).
