That dude is really into his flower.
Ok, so I’ll admit it, I do judge a book by its cover- but my initial reaction isn’t always binding (ha!). I’ve learned that books, much like people, “dress” a certain way to attract those who share their interests. A science-fiction book’s cover has a certain visual parlance that lets readers know other-worldly happenings are bound between its pages. Chick-lit, biographies, children’s books and almost all other categories have their own book-cover language as well (not to mention different eras- holla at vintage Penguins). Here are a few book-cover designers I am particularly enamored by. Let me know what you think!
So this a pretty nifty old cookbook! It’s even niftier than you’d guess at first glance, though. It harbors a secret.

Look closely! What do you see? Drawings by an Andrew Warhol??
It’s true, though! Who knew Andy Warhol did cookbook illustrations?

Here are some supersexy words to chew on:
Eschatology: (n) Branch of Theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world/humankind. Doomsday anyone?
Sibilance- (n) Having, containing or producing the sound of s or sh. Just think of a room full of snakes.
Nacreous- (adj) Possessing the quality of mother-of-pearl. Ugly word for a beautiful shell.
Dyspepsia- (n) Indigestion. Ill-humor. Dis-PEPto BisSIA… too far? Probably.
Alacrity- (n) Promptness in response; cheerful readiness.

It’s a beautiful day in the Windy City.
