    1. This use of Davida was referenced in the cover design for another Sylvia Plath book by the same publisher. Bantam’s paperback edition of Letters Home (February 1977) pairs Davida with caps from ITC Tiffany.

    2. This paperback cover including Davida and the upside-down rose references the jacket designed by Amy Isbey Duevell for the first US edition by Harper & Row from 1971.
