That book cover always drove me nuts when I worked in a bookstore because the titles not on it! Whenever it was faced out on the shelf, you couldnt see the title.
Did customers ever ask for that book with the guy and the punctuation? :)
I think theres a version that does have the title on it, but the compositions not as striking as this one.
(My pet hate when it comes to cover design is dark-coloured foiling on a black background. Impossible to read. Also novels that say something like Title: a novel).
