Image of the front and back cover of a paperback book, rendered so that the book appears to have been opened and laid flat against the picture plane. The title, author and other text are rendered in brown on a brownish-yellow background. There is a decorative border surrounding the title, author and other text. The decorative quality of the border is suggestive of a quilt pattern. The border is rendered in the same color of brown as the text. The cover has been made ot appear worn and there are tears along the crease of the spine.
