The Song of Achilles by Madeline Millar featuring a shirtless man holding a helmet. The important thing from my perspective as the designer is that his skin is tinted green because Millar describes Achilles skin as the colour of freshly-pressed olives and look, I didn't write that, I'm just an overly literal reader.

Robert’s Rules of Order by Henry M. Robert III as a pulp paperback was suggested by…I’m not sure actually. Maybe Rachel just thought it was cool.For some reason.

There is so much chaos in this cover that I don't know where to start. It's Robert's Rules of Order, 12th edition, by Henry M. Robert III. It's a pulp style cover with a bearded white man holding up a red card and various strange looking fellows, one of whom has two heads (why?) in the background. Other text reads "challenge the chair! point of personal privilege! call the question! move to adjourn." In the foreground, a hand holds a card that says "The house WILL rise. Order is what separates men from beasts...and he's here to bring it!"
