Last week the local library had a book sale, and my wife came home with a big bag of books, which have now joined the many stacks of books that we already had. I can't find the quote now, but someone once said that a person who isn't running out of space for books is probably not worth knowing.

So our theme this week is Books. Post a cover image that includes one or more books.

The Rules:

- Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
- Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before May 2009.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, May 7th beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59pm PST.
- Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most.
- Put the name of your choice in bold.
- The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends.
- The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest.
- If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it; please don't post disparaging remarks about it.
- If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out so that the poster can choose an alternate before voting begins.
