Sartarelli's endnotes are fun, too.<br /><br />On the covers, I kind of lean to the British cover, but I'd ditch the woman's silhouette. It annoys me and isn't needed and I hate the use of women on covers to entice purchasers. I like that the font for this cover is unusual and that Camilleri's name is so big.<br /><br />I read this book with a different cover altogether and tend to like this series' covers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-90817937098928300402015-07-22T13:17:49.278-07:002015-07-22T13:17:49.278-07:00It may not be your cup of tea, Lynn, but I love &#...It may not be your cup of tea, Lynn, but I love 'em-- and the translations by Sartarelli are absolutely brilliant.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-29498780942454731072015-07-22T13:16:47.363-07:002015-07-22T13:16:47.363-07:00Oh no ya don't.

It would catch my eye. It is different than most covers. However, I agree with you on the dark brown patch. I thought it was probably a monk's robe. I haven't read a book in this series yet.
