Message-ID: <907@mtgzz.UUCP> Date: Fri, 5-Jul-85 23:59:23 EDT Article-I.D.: mtgzz.907 Posted: Fri Jul 5 23:59:23 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 7-Jul-85 06:15:36 EDT Organization: AT&T Information Systems Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 13 Odd question, but I happen to notice that any hardback book written or edited by Somerset Maugham has a symbol indented on the cover. Anybody know what the story is? Was this his personal symbol or something? It seems to be a variation on a gothic cross in which two arcs meet a vertical bar at the top so it looks almost like a half-collapses umbrella. There are horizontal cross pieces on the vertical bar. That isn't a good description, but anyone who would know the answer will know what I am talking about. Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!leeper
