The cover features a very distinct 70s-80s photographic visual, depicting white asparagus with two small American flags planted in them, with a bold graphic play on the title. The inscription \"laissez pousser les asperges\" is printed in white letters at the top of the cover, while the author's name, San-Antonio, appears in very large red characters, partially covered in blue for the prefix \"san-\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book features a soft cover typical of paperback editions, with slightly worn corners and a visible crease at the bottom right, testifying to its age and handling. The publisher's logo \"fleuve noir\" is clearly visible at the bottom right of the visual. The spine of the book is not visible in this photo, but the front cover shows a patina and traces of use consistent with a vintage work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe photograph highlights the contrast between the dark background of the bookcase and the light, pinkish colors of the asparagus, as well as the red and blue graphic elements of the title and flags. The whole evokes the offbeat humor characteristic of San-Antonio detective novels, while displaying a retro style immediately recognizable by fans of French thrillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is displayed upright on a wooden table with relief, which accentuates its antique appearance.
