I loved the cover. Who designed it and who is the pug pictured on the cover?
Two very talented people collaborated on the cover: Fred Fischer, an economic analyst at the U.S. International Trade Commission and USTR; and Hugh Philipp, currently involved in “bio-physics” research (incomprehensible to mere mortals) at Cornell University, who also happens to be my son-in-law. The pug model for the cover of both books is Chloe, our nearly 9-year-old pug. Click here to learn more. The cover of Citizen of Rome is the handiwork of Fred Fischer with assistance from my wife, Amelia, and some help (and more hindrance) from me.
