Book cover of the graphic novel Maus, A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegelman. Volume One, My Father Bleeds History. Two anthropomorphized mice huddle together, one in a trench coat, one covered with a blanket. A grey wall behind them features only a large white circle emblazoned with a swastika with a stylized cat's face in the center. The cat icon is angular and harsh, and features a small mustache, reminiscent of Adolf Hitler.

Cover of the book The Magpie Lord, A Charm of Magpies, by K.J. Charles. Blurb text reads, "Sexual tensions between the two men is sizzling..." Publishers Weekly. In the foreground, a sepia toned photo of a white man with blond hair stares directly at the viewer, unsmiling. He is dressed in an old fashioned Gentlemen's frock coat with high starched collar and cravat. In the background, another man in a long Regency-style dress coat and top hat stands facing away in a formal hall of many windows. Shafts of warm light stream in, putting the rear figure in silhouette as he stands in an open doorway. There is an icon of a black and white magpie next to the subtitle, in the lower corner.
