An intriguing list, U! (I see you have been as creative as ever in all the lists you've come up with of late). I added "The Name of the Rose" -- you'll recall that William of Baskerville (if memory serves) was wearing an early version of glasses which intrigued everybody.

I like these lists that are narrowly focused to the point of ridiculousness. I'm thinking about starting one for squirrel covers.

LOL That sounds fascinating. Name one!

Earl the Squirrel.

Lobstergirl: "Rocky the Flying Squirrel"?

G.: Was thinking of "Name of the Rose" also -- thanks for adding it in my stead! (Is there any list this book doesn't have a purpose in being included on?)

Rocky the flying squirrel and Bullwinkle. I like those guys.
Is there really an Earl the squirrel? I bet he's cute.

Yes, by Don Freeman, the author of the Corduroy series.

I'll have to read it to the Grandkids. It sounds cute.

What a great list! Made me chuckle simply looking at the List title and all the more heartily when I opened the List.
I like these "Cover" Lists that refer to the actual cover graphic versus a key word imbedded in the title. Much more visually appealing that way.
BTW-these must all be progressive lenses as I don't see the tell-tale line across the lens of non-progressives! ((This offered by one who has graduated into progessive trifocals! Yippee.)
Thanks!

Thank YOU! :)

The problem with lists for book covers is, alas, that sometimes either the editions actually included in the list change (e.g., when books are combined -- they're always combined to feature the edition registered as "the most popular one" in the GR database), or the publisher comes up with a new cover for a given book. As a result, sometimes books that used to be a great contribution to a given list no longer fit its parameters ... :(

But I like lists focusing on covers nevertheless. As you've probably noticed!

The Name of the Rose on this list doesnt work - it should be this one:

I think I initially added an edition/cover showing William wearing his "oculi" -- it later got switched to the default edition, though, when it was combined with a duplicate entry.

But covers aren't an "in-or-out" criterium on this list ... any book qualifies as long as glasses figure prominently in the story, and you can certainly say THAT about The Name of the Rose! :)

ETA: going through the comments again, I see it was "3535" who initially added the book. Anyway ...
