I like Amy Tan's books and if you have seen them you know how intricate the designs are on them.  Now there is an updated design to her books and they focus slightly more on the type design.  I am focusing on the author's name to the left.  This is a great tweak on what seems to be a pretty classic typeface:  the bowing of the middle line in the a's and how the y looks.  Since I don't know a lot about type, I don't have that creativity to switch things up with my typefaces, so I look forward to learning about all sorts of different type options I have throughout this class.
