The follies and follicles of Vee Levene

I have a round head. I have a pretty decent scar.



Explanation of the scar (pending confirmation from Mom): I was 3, and fell off a bed, onto a radiator. 2 big holes. Really nasty. Doctor found one, stitched it up, somehow managed to miss the second. This second one thus had to heal on its own, bloody and scabby for months.

I've felt the dent on my head my whole life, thought it was just a dent in my head.

Explanation of the cut: I'm graduating college in April; this may very well be the last time I'm able to do something like this; I just wanted to have done it. You know?
I emailed Princeton University Press with this question:

This is a bit of a random question, but I was wondering about a font used on a Princeton Paperback book. The book title is "Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women?" by Susan Okin; I'm curious as to what the font on the back cover is. Let me know if you can help me in this quest! :)

I found the response kind of amazing:

I was hoping to be able to answer your question about the font on the back cover of the Okin book, but I'm afraid I haven't succeeded.  I have the book on my shelf, and I took it to one of our senior deisgners to see whether she could identify the font.  She could not, and she said it wouldn't be possible to do so with certainty without having the original cover files.  To complicte matters, the cover was designed by a freelance designer who is, I believe, no longer living.
