Swapped to the edition I am actually reading, but man, I am not a fan of Calvino's dour mug on the Everyman's Library cover. My library copy is sans the original jacket, so it's just the navy blue boards with author and title inscribed in gold. Much better.

Wow. (And also, Calvino likes his spy novels.)

Sir, the lady wishes you to buy her a grapnel.

… I’m still stuck on the Cimmerian. Really? It had to be Cimmeria? [amused] I wonder if Calvino was a Conan fan.
