What happens when you forget to tell the jacket designer you’ve changed your subtitle? A proof copy of Jonathan Glancey’s Nagaland, which Faber will be publishing in April, arrived in the office this morning, with an erratum sticker on the cover.

They have, at least, adhered to the new rule of cover design: a nice big space at the top right for the retailers’ “Three for Two” sticker.
