#TBT: Surprising Journal Covers

UPW-Logo-2015Welcome to Day 4 of the University Press Week blog tour! The theme for today’s post is Throwback Thursday. We’re featuring a few of our surprising journal issue covers from the past several years. Some of our favorites include a cover of boundary 2 featuring Mickey Mouse, a Radical History Review cover that teaches us the real key to making money, and an issue of the Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies that will make you do a double-take. Do you have a favorite that we didn’t include? Let us know in the comments!

If you’re hankering for more #TBT posts, we invite you to check out the rest of the blog tour. Begin at Project Muse to check out highlights from their 20 years of university press content. Then head over to University of Minnesota Press for a spotlight on its 90th birthday. Next, University of Chicago Press offers up a letter written as if it were 1991, the year the PDF was founded.
