OK, I should not admit to getting too excited about these things. But I think the new Penguin book cover for Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction is awesome. (This is the front cover, not the spine.)
Generally I'm anti-cute book covers, but I'll admit that this one has more substance than some others that Penguin has done recently (like the cartoon versions of DH Lawrence and Little Women).

A bit too clever, perhaps?

Plus, it's a lot better than your beard...
I heartily agree with Jonathan on both counts. But I might just be in a particularly good mood: I got an A- on my first paper.
My beard is just a late bloomer, ok? Just give it a little time.

I think that would be a late sprouter.
Please keep us posted about Lydia's recovery.
On the beard--is that blooming? And congrats to ol' double-E Reed on the paper.
Shucks, that wasn't Karie, it was me.
