Author: Michael Bell
Year: 2006/2007

96 pages
This was probably more entertaining at its genesis as a series of shop window displays over time. In that setting, the double entendres and shifts in meaning would have seemed serendipitously found and wittily presented. As a collection of book covers, however, the humor quickly wears thin. This would best be read by placing the book on a stand and turning only one page a day for view. Like dessert, too much at once ceases to be a pleasure.
