there are swastikas (some blatant, some stylized or not easily seen) all
over the place, people find them in everything from old hardwood floors to
old brick buildings, a lot of them in new york. people have also claimed the
"columbia" logo on jackets and such has a clear swastika in it. there are
even buildings shaped like them on iirc a naval academy somewhere, google
earth found it. I know I have seen quite a few of them when I worked as a
cable installer, many middle eastern and eastern cultures use it as a sign
of peace and happiness, they paint them in the corner of door threshholds, I
remember one customer was pissed because they had just bought the house and
had to scrub off all the swastikas from the doors.
not trying to start a flamewar, but believe it or not IBM was in with the
nazis

I am surprised they don't throw that in with their "we sent a computer into
space" and other "we did this first" commericals...

I'll have to see about taking a photo of it tonight. Due to the time frame

just some random design, and someone not

that on the spine of the book given that it's from a publisher I
recognized.

Can we move on to the next weird offbeat
conspiracy theory? This one is
boring.
OTOH, there is no conspiracy, but I find reading about potential meanings
/ sources of this particular book's symbol* interesting (Zane, do you have a
photo?)
* and that includes the possibility that it's entirely random and intended
for decorative purposes only, of course :-)
