Hardcover book; multiple
dust jackets with additional
cover design sits underneath

$16

This title is currently out of stock.

This issue is a hardcover book, available in four different dust jackets. One dust jacket has on it a man who is suffering from terrible skin lesions. The second cover looks very much like the cover of Issue 1, with the addition of a medical drawing of a severed arm. The third cover is blank, with all of its images hiding on the back. The last cover is just red. In addition, under each dust jacket is a different cover: either Ted Koppel, new work by Susan Minot, or a variation on the second cover, described above, which is legible only with aid of mirror.


Highlights Include:
David Foster Wallace
(writing as Elizabeth Klemm):

Dave Eggers
