It began as the GODFATHER OF MATH, evolved into the GOODFATHER OF MATH. Now this. Go figure...

This Very Very Special Abrams Book Designer

________________________________________________________________________________________________





In 1983, she knew
that this author, Ariana–
with the mile long 
Greek name—  
would become 
a modern 
Goddess.

None of her fellow designers,
or any other Abrams employees,
believed 
her.


Stassinopoulos

She told her colleagues that Ariana was easy 
to work with  "If you remember to laugh at her jokes."

Then along came a little rich boy and prophecy
was fulfilled. Ariana became a Huffington. 

Bejeweled and un-bewildered, the world
became her oyster.

What more does a modern Goddess need to do,
after legitimizing that puky sounding thing
called a Blog?

One more question: did the very, very special
Abrams Books designer know–in 1983–
that she was the future Mrs. CarPeo?

    1. With proper accreditation, everything
      on this page has been stated elsewhere
      within the GodFather of Math Trilogy.

  2. Mrs. Carpeo was unaware!

    1. And Mr. CarPeo acknowledges that the future
      Mrs. C exclusively worked on
      publicity for this book.
