Którędy or Which way

Don’t you just love this non-PC book cover? I have no idea what’s inside it because it’s a novel written in Polish. Apparently the title means “Which way” (or perhaps “Which way?”). And it’s written by Daniel Emmerson, who’s currently making the EnglishClub.com documentary film on learning English. If you’re Polish, or even if you aren’t but can read Polish, or even if you can’t read Polish but just like the cover, or Daniel, you can get the book online here. Personally I’m looking forward to my own free, signed copy—which Daniel promised to send me even though I don’t speak a word of Polish :)

What do YOU think about the cover anyway? Please leave your comments.
