Composite of author Anthony Aycock and his new book. Anthony's headshot is on the left, where he is looking at the camera in a button up and tie with round glasses on. The cover of his forthcoming book, JUST PLAIN FILTHY: THE STORY BEHIND BOOK BANNING'S TRIAL OF THE CENTURY, is on the right. The cover shows a plain book page on top of a wood background where "just plain filthy" has a chunk of black highlighted in between, as if blacking out the banned words. "Anthony Aycock" is stamped in red in the top right corner.
