The desinger of U Chicago Press provides two potential covers of my new book! 😀 Couldn't decide which is better. What do you think?

I just learned that there are no BOA, Citi, or other big banks in Hawaii... So I had to "tip" nearly $5 for whatever cash withdrawal I made, the only purpose of which was to prepare to tip...

Thanks! :)
