It was suggested on the Dancing Bear thread that the cover of the infamous Literature/Gadsby would work well on the currently image-less Constrained Writing. I imagine if this gets chosen we can have a cheeky caption about how the author's name and the tagline both have several E's.

This would require a replacement for the work's page if we do so, but unfortunately Gadsby has not been blessed with beautiful covers over the years.

...question. A Void uses the same lipogrammatic constraint as Gadsby; could we just use its page image instead? It isn't clear that it's even the cover.

[tup]OP, and I like the first suggestion as a replacement for the work page.

Well, it's been three days and there's enough support for the idea, so the cleanest Gadsby cover is now on Constrained Writing and tagged. I've hooked a crowner for the work page.

Votes bump, two in the green and one in consensus range.

1.1's hit super-consensus. The new pic's in and tagged; locking up. Not reposting the old pic since it's in the OP.
