So. Remember back to your American Lit class. What's wrong with this dust jacket? I'm seriously tempted to bid anyway, but tsk tsk, artist-person. (One of my favorite Far Side comics touched on this, but since Gary Larson sicced his lawyers on his fansites a few years back, I'm stuck without a link. Frustrating.)

Ha! I didn't even notice the tail, I was so busy thinking, "Wait a minute, shouldn't that whale be white? That's pretty important, right?"

The Far Side is the one with the lookout in the crow's nest hollering, "The white whale! The whiiiiiiiite wh... No, no... My mistake!... A black whale! A regular blaaaaaaack whale!" while Ahab stands below on the deck with his eyes bugging out. I love that one.
