It reminded me of a related cover I had a few years ago that I thought you might find interesting, so I dug through my picture archives (sorry for the quality of the scan -- scanners are better now!):

Roy:

Fascinating insight into a slice of the human condition, a page out of a couple of unexamined lives.
My imagination took flight upon reading this - a great theme upon which to write a terrific novel.

Thank you for your contribution.

Does that say 1789 - 1956 ???

That would make him 167 years old, wow. I'd have to take with a grain of salt...
