Nice as always--especially given my moans and complaints with the US cover (not the art per se, just the relevance to the book itself).

The French on the booklet translates (per Ghenkis)

Oh, for those who don't read French: On the red poster, it's propaganda for the President Lombroso. The English Translation:

"The guard watches" (the special force of the President)
and :
"Work - Homeland - Honor - Security"

Given President Lombroso's naming every thing after himself a simpler poster with him on it saying, "President Lombroso is watching you," similar to George Orwell's 1984 "Big Brother is watching you," is more likely ;)

Where is the 41st Century Version of Marianne in this French cover?!?!?!? LOL Seriously though, LOVE THE DEPICTION of the White You-Know-What (I'm at work, OK?)

For those of you who don't get who's Marianne, here's a painting depicting her! She's France's ideal of liberty.
