HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY, ATTICUS

"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

-- To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

First published in 1960, it is, quite possibly, the best piece of fiction ever written.

    Read? Pff.. I dunno. But I love the graphic design of the cover shown here. (I wonder if that font is available somewhere...)

    A bit of Googling: designer of this book cover is english designer Derek Birdsall:

    apparently a now-legendary designer.
