Posted on February 18, 2013 27 Comments
I’m not gonna lie to you, Internet: This is a staggeringly cool cover. One note of errata: If the woman on the cover is meant to be Isabel Wangai, the skin tone (and hair color, and eye color) are off a bit, as Isabel is Kenyan (as noted in the next). There may be blonde, […]
