I don't know -- the Great Singapore Penis Panic has a catchy enough title; the cover page design is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteIt's heartening to see that in publishing the second volume of A Century of Sand Dredging in the Bristol Channel, Coastal Shipping Publications has stayed true to the series design.
ReplyDeleteWell, it just would be embarassing if the spines didn't match.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very nice office chair.
ReplyDeleteThank you -- I love the cover too :)
