After the Sliders, Dr. Who and Salute Your Shorts references, I didn't want people to think I'm obsessed with television. That said, I was tempted to include a joke about The Office. The guy's name is Michael Scott!

Connie Dobbs As a graphic designer, I think it's excessive to have Bob Sheiffer's name at the top AND the bottom of his book cover art. I guess they're trying to push that it's an autobiography and maybe show it in serif and sans serif in case some lowest-common-denom has trouble processing Bodoni Condensed? Too much. Connie Dobbs

"Michael Scott will be at Politics and Prose to talk about his novel, The Magician: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. 10:30 a.m." There's got to be a joke missed there... On that note, I can't wait until 9 next Thrs night.
