    the hardback cover of “The Book of Love” by Kelly Link, as I read it. Title in mixed case  mixed case THE BooK oF LoVE” and author’s name upper case, both in black over a solid red background. Four rows of five moons line the cover in gold: crescent, waxing, full, waning, crescent. Alternating left and then right waning first, then waxing moons have silhouettes of faces instead of earth-shadows.
