Six Weeks is a 1976 novel by Fred Mustard Stewart (1932–2007). In 1982, it was adapted for the screen, starring Dudley Moore, Mary Tyler Moore, and Katherine Healy.
The dust jacket for the first edition by Arbor House was designed by Loretta Trezzo. The New York-based designer worked with a typeface designed by her local colleague Ursula Suess, Book Jacket. The title demonstrates how well Book Jacket performs in all-caps settings – something that can’t be said of every calligraphic italic. The author’s name has alternate swash forms for all three initials.
