John Cage, Lois Long

Mud Book
1983

A playful book cover with the title "MUD BOOK" in bold, black letters at the top. Below is a large, brown handprint that resembles a mud print in the center, surrounded by various brown splatters and smudges. At the bottom, the subtitle "HOW TO MAKE PIES AND CAKES" is written in smaller black letters. The background is white, and the overall design mimics a messy, mud-splattered surface.
