From Wikipedia:
Joshua Then and Now is a Canadian novel written by Mordecai Richler, published in 1980 by McClelland and Stewart. A semi-autobiographical novel, the book is based his life on his neighborhood growing up in Montreal, Quebec, and tells of the life of a writer. Richler later adapted the novel into the feature film Joshua Then and Now, starring James Woods, Alan Arkin, and Gabrielle Lazure; directed by Ted Kotcheff who had previously directed Richler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.
William Fox / Associates is credited for the jacket design of the first edition by McClelland and Stewart, which uses a Didot – possibly Beaux Arts Didot? – in all caps. When Alfred A. Knopf published the first US edition, Lawrence Ratzkin followed the basic design, but mixed things up: he used Didi with glyphs in different sizes and selectively elongated and shortened parts, set on a bouncing baseline.
