Error and the Growth of Experimental Knowledge cover: 30 years ago

Posted on April 1, 2026 by Mayo

30 years ago today, Chicago Press sent me a draft version of this cover for Error and the Growth of Experimental Knowledge for my approval (except the fuchsia and mustard in “ERROR” were switched). At first I thought it was so cartoony that it might be an April 1 joke! I had sent them a picture I drew (now in the preface), but they didn’t think that worked for a cover. They were right. It’s a fabulous cover!
