also known as micropsia and macropsia, is a brain condition affecting the way objects are perceived by the mind. For example, an afflicted person may look at a larger object, like a basketball, and perceive it as if it were the size of a mouse. The condition manifests itself in connection with various other conditions, such as epilepsy, anxiety, and migraines. The disease is named after Lewis Carroll's novel due to the size changes Alice experiences. Carroll documented cases of classic migraines, so scholars have speculated that he may have experienced symptoms of macropsia or micropsia.

What a wildly fun cover.

I have a friend who lives out here in Marin who has one of the most immaculate collections of everything related to Alice... I am sure this will end up with everything else.

Interesting that you focused your solution for this cover on the micropsia disorder...

I like how you carried some of the frame elements from the early comps on to the spine of the final.

This is reminiscent of the cover you did for The Bonfire of the Vanities. Nice nice work as always.

Great design!

Have you seen the UK edition one?

Not bad.

wow. that is a funny UK edition. Not bad. Funny, but not bad. In a European way.

Freakin' yeah Henry! This rocks!

This cover really speaks to Carroll's personality as a mathematician—it's fun and interesting, which is exactly what Carroll wanted math to be. He created all kinds of clever math games and riddles and used a lot of logic-based themes in his books (the chess game in Through the Looking-glass is one example). Beautiful, smart design! Great color scheme, too.

This sounds fantastic, Henry -- just pre-ordered a copy. Thanks for sharing it!

Wow, I love this!

a dynamic cover, henry. it is classic and modern at the same time. really nice.
