Small square images cascade in stacked rows across the front cover. There are grayscale images of news clippings, a moustached face, some test tubes and a pair of doey eyes staring straight at you. There are also a few images in colour interspersed in the grey tones: a sheet of red and blue General Idea AIDS stamps, green, red and blue AZT pills, and two rosy cheeked boys tucked into bed. The title General Idea editions 1967-1995 is written in red and white sans serif font across the top third of the book — General Idea Editions, 1968-1995, catalogue raisonné, Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto, 2003.
