Interesting cover....
« on: February 08, 2014, 01:15:41 am »
I was at a local used book store tonight and while walking through the store, this caught my eye.   I don't know if the coin or coin collecting has anything to do with the plot or not, but the cover sure caught my eye.

I didn't buy a copy, although I did walk out with an abridged version (only 1,100 pages or so) of Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

It seems to have, at least a bit:

Already the names of the protagonists are fun :).
