Book cover; light green with titles and author in cream text. In the middle of the cover stands a man in a baggy black jacket, green plaid shorts and a white blindfold. He walks forwards blindly, arms outstretched. Behind him is a ghostly, light green woman holding a length of white cloth. To either side float green children, also holding the cloth.
