Cover versions

Just the other day, while fiddling with the new “My Times” thingy offered by the NYT, I learned that Dwight Garner, an editor at the book review with whom I used to kill time on the 11th floor (if I’m remembering right) patio on 229 W. 43rd St., has a blog on the Times site. I’ve been enjoying it, and knew that before long he’d have something that would give me an excuse to hype it. And here it is! In this post, he mentions this site of Kerouac book covers from around the world. The above is my favorite, from a 1995 Ukraine edition of On The Road. You know I love a visual remix. Anyway, apparently the book review will be printing a number of the cover variations this weekend.
