James Joyce, Ulysses, 1934. Meanwhile, the same year Tropic of Cancer was banned in the US, Ulysses was published in America by Random House, following a notorious obscenity trial of its own. The cover above is from the first stateside edition; the original, 1922 French cover isn’t that interesting.

The Great Gatsby cover by Francis Cugat is the most celebrated and iconic book jacket image of the 20th century, and it’s omission seems conspicuous.

Mark, Jay’s possessive is not a possessive. It’s a contraction. The contraction stole the apostrophe from the possessive.
The possessive of “it” is always its. That’s how you tell the difference between the two words.
How did a discussion of covers get hijacked by third grade grammar class?
Hooray for Anne-Marie. :)
This selection of books is lovely; thank you, Judy Berman, for sharing the images.
