I love Chris Ware’s artwork.
Um, I think this book cover is appallingly bad. The title is difficult to read and the cover gives what I assume is the wrong impression about the content of the book (it’s difficult to tell because the cover is so confusing I’m not sure what the book is about). As a piece of abstract art I’m sure it’s great, as a book cover it sucks. Most readers would pass it by before they could decipher the title.
