Don't judge a book by its cover. Judge it by its index.

(Actually, I love my cover so you can judge this one by its cover if you want, but only as a special absurdly orange sexy swordful exception!) https://www.adapalmer.com/publication/inventing-the-renaissance/

@adapalmer Got my copy yesterday, started reading it last night. Now I'm curious about Darth Vader, but it will take me a while to get to that point. I shall resist the temptation to peek ahead.

So far I'm thinking that this is going to be a lot of fun.

@adapalmer I haven't gotten to Vader yet, but have hit the not helpfully numbered King Alphonso the nth.

@adapalmer Several shops seem to have the paperback cover for the hardback, e.g. the guardian bookshop.

@turi Yes, that often happens. But I think both covers are fabulous!

@adapalmer They were only called the dark ages because there were so many knights.

I'll show myself out...
