Which press will have the chutzpah to reprint Weber's Economy and Society with a title in comic sans?

Also it’s my record-collecting background that makes me write “first press.” Clearly a first *edition*

You said it and then I had to see it.

Thank you, I needed that laugh today!

Bostonians will associate it (in a swashier form) with 1970s college bookstore branding

Damn, there’s a regional reference I get!!

Thanks for posting this beautiful book cover. Typeface nerdery: it isn't Comic Sans equivalent. It's Cooper Black, designed by Oswald B Cooper in the 1920s. It's egalitarian and notable for its ubiquity. In the UK you see it on high street kebab and pizza shops. https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/cooper-black
