David Gale has been reading my posts!!!!



"One of the topics discussed was the significance of the cover design. On the bottom left-hand corner of an otherwise rather plain dustjacket is the image of what appears to be a seal or official stamp, depicting what might be mountains, encircled at the seal's circumference by lettering in an unfamiliar script. The subscribers get to work: there's a snow lion in front of the mountains; the mountains resemble giant adenoids; it's not a seal, it's a coin; the coin is a forgery; the script is Tibetan; it's a Tibetan wireless telegraph stamp; the dustjacket is referencing either reincarnation, time travel or tripolar disorder. Remarkably, a subscriber unearths a photo of a 19th-century Tibetan coin that closely resembles the enigmatic original."
