As I travel extensively for my occupation (or at least I did in the Before Times – prior to 2020) and possess both a strongly motivating instinct as well as a well-honed ability to locate any bookshop within a reachable radius to my place of temporary habitation in any location visited, I have been regularly confronted with variations on the themes of book covers. And while I am well aware of the old maxim never to judge a book by its cover, the truth is that we all do, otherwise publishers wouldn’t take so many pains to design them as they do.
