Cover Story

Embracing the aleatory theme of the issue, this issue of Cabinet featured four different covers corresponding to the four suits in a deck of cards. Bookstores were sent a mix of covers to put on display; subscribers received a randomly selected cover. We had imagined that the desire to collect all four covers would translate into much higher orders for this particular issue; we were wrong.
