| That's true - ditto for book titles and back cover blurb. I suspect Tariq Ali is happy enough to have complete editorial control over the substance of his books, rather than the peripherals. Still, I agree that those covers - esp. that of the Iraq book - do not incline one to take the man's writing seriously, which is a real shame. |

How so thrifty ... with all your hols, you're hardly ever there ...
... not so here ... our Kurban Bayram has fallen victim to itself ... and has been chopped, sliced, and carved until nothing more than a wish-bone of a long weekend remains ... |
