Re: Re: Re: New Perl 6 book -- Yes, Perl 6/New Perl6 Mascot

a parrot riding on a camel?

How about a very attractive Arabian woman with a parrot on her shoulder, sitting atop a smiling camel? That sounds like such a great image. It would make a great tshirt. Certainly a lot better than a steaming cup of coffee or a snake.

Covers with distinctive people are typical of Manning. This gimmick is probably an adaptation of O'Reilly covers with distinctive animals. They just choosed engraving people instead of animals. What you propose may work if Manning and O'Reilly merge someday. :) -- stefp Come to YAPC::Europe 2003 in Paris, 23-25 July 2003.	[reply]

Surely, as the Camel is a Dromedary, we could swap to a Bactrian - perl with twice the humps! :) Ben.	[reply]

O'Reilly doesn't put people on the cover--just animals. They don't generally do mixed-animal covers either, though the game physics book does have a cat and mouse on it. (I think that's the only one) As long as we don't get the morbidly obese ground hog... :)	[reply]

I'll take O'Reilly book trivia for 100: Person. Too bad it wasn't a very good book.	[reply]
