I have a book! It is actually real!
A book, or more specifically my doctoral thesis, "Wealth, Consumption, and Industriousness: Evidence from southern Sweden, 1570-1860". The cover is a painting of woman, dressed in a flowing yellow skirt with a pink blouse and white cap, sitting on a green holstered chair resting her eyes next to a spindle with a ball of yarn in her hand. Her foot rests on a foot stool matching the chair she is sitting on, and on the table she is leaning on is a small basket with balls of yarn.
