I enjoy the blog.

This is my favorite cover of the Wanderer (as the title is translated in this version).

that cover is very nice indeed, i don't have it.... will have to keep my eye out, the new translation by penguin reads fine but it is a totally offensive cover with an uninteresting intro.
sure is one hell of a book though, thanks for the link.

I was lucky enough to find a copy of the Edward Gorey cover art edition at the SF Friends of the Library sale for 25 cents. I agree with you on the latest translation. Penguin can do so much better with their designs!

i found the new directions one for $10. or some crazy price in palo alto.
