Disco Dubliners

The choice of completely the wrong typeface can wreck a cover (not that either of these would be marvellous otherwise). From a public-domain publisher called Simon & Brown come these two James Joyce books with a typeface that cries 'DISCO!'. You can just imagine the bright flash of light that would run along the letters in a late-1970s TV show opening credit sequence.
