I don't know about anyone else, but I think it's time this book from 1986 got its time in the sun with a fresh boutique reprinting!

Who's up for the challenge?! @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social @illumicrate.bsky.social @curiouskingbooks.bsky.social @subpress.bsky.social

But then I realized Google Image search is pretty darn powerful! I wanted to see the full cover of the book below mine; so i did a small screen cap zoomed in:

It's EXTRA wild because that cover was a super limited run; we switched it to the colorful one soon after [s/o to Michael Seidlinger!]!!*

These days I only use FB for mandatory work-related things, but occasionally, it'll repost a fond memory, and today was one of those days!
