Since I'm sitting in the study commons at my university, I thought maybe a more academic post would be fitting. Actually, it's not really very academic. Literature professors do love to throw them into the curriculum however: the classics. I like to pick one up myself without having to thoroughly analyze the story till it becomes just a bunch of words on the page that symbolize something else entirely! During my travels, I bought the book A Game of Hide and Seek by Elizabeth Taylor (not the actress!). This is isn't a classic but I loved the book cover: original and cloth-bound. The 'classic' discovery I made was at anthroplogie.com. These Penguin classics have abandoned the traditional dust jackets and have donned embossed canvas covers. Aren't they pretty?!
