Longer-term readers might remember the 'Man in Fog', a 1935 photo by Arthur Tanner that featured in this sites's
first proper post, and which, when I last talked about it, had appeared on the covers of at least nine books (more, really, since the Simenon below stands in for a whole series of books featuring that image as an inset).
Here's his latest appearance, snowed-in and Berlin-ified for Dan Vyleta's
Pavel & I's latest edition.
Furthermore, I've found him on another nine books since I last posted about him:
So with the earlier, previously logged, appearances displayed below, that's at least 19 books he's graced. He was also going to be on a 20th, an Alma Classics edition of a book by Céline, until I let them know about his ubiquity.

To be rivaled by the woman in the red coat (Amazon link below). Once you know to look out for her you see her everywhere.

I was waiting for Alan Furst to show up - they should just use Brassai for all of his and be done with it. (I am a big fan of both Furst and Brassai.)
Brian: I know I've seen her elsewhere, too, but can't remember where. I'll start searching!
Jonathan: Same here. That Parisian cafe with the bullet hole in the wall where a waiter was shot is a very Brassai location...
The least they could do was flip him around once in a while.
All that smoking can't be good for you.
