Page "Geek Love" Paragraph 6

The book's original cover art by Chip Kidd caused a sensation at book conventions when it was introduced in 1989.

Its plain, stark orange color and unusual fonts went against conventional design aesthetics.

In keeping with the novel's theme of mutation, the lettering of the title employs mutated fonts, and the book's spine sports a five-legged dog, one of the rare instances when Knopf has allowed its dog logo to be altered.
