Mayakovsky Smiles
Quote from New graphic design in Revolutionary Russia by Szymon Bojko.
"One of the first books to sport such a cover was the little tome Mayakovsky Smiles.... (1923). Its novelty lies in the fact that it encouraged one to read the verse of the popular poet set out in an aggressive and visually striking manner. It aptly conceived a youthful mood of world-shaking poetry sparkling with humor and irony."
