So there's a publishing-on-demand company called Tutis that will print classic literature for you at a price that seems way too high - until you see the covers they choose for these books. You are clearly paying for Dadaist art, not the story inside. A blog called the Caustic Cover Critic just posted about their Henry James choices a couple days ago and now I can't stop playing in the archives. There's James Oliver Curwood's The Alaskan, featuring a mostly-naked barbarian type facing down an elephant that was most likely originally on a D&D book cover, and there's Slash (the guitarist, whom we all know due to God hating him) on the cover of Thomas Hardy's Wessex Tales. Slash was my favorite until I saw the Sherlock Holmes cover below and regretting having already posted to tumblr about Tutis. Someone might need to stop me from posting this with earnest commentary about it being the one and only adaptation of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes that I will accept and then tagging the hell out of it. HOW DARE THE BBC AND CBS SULLY THIS VISION!?!?

Sherlock "Space" Holmes, represented as ACD intended.


The cover to Life and Public Services of John Quincy Adams will see you out. Thank you and good day.
