Nabokov's Dozen

This is the book from our family library where I first met Vladimir Nabokov. I have re-read these 13 stories numerous times, in fact, after reading Farenheit 451, I decided that this would be the book I would memorize. I have yet to memorize a single story.
For a pulp classic (more examples to come), this cover is pretty highbrow. Nabokov was a noted lepidopterist, but since I am not, I can't determine if this is a species that was named by or after him.
