Do I win this thread?

Also, cover design is extremely important to me in a book. 9/10 times I would rather just a plain color than the shitty picture whatever publisher it is has on there.

Not entirely sure if this is the correct one, but along with the Bible German soldiers at the front in World War 1 were also given Also Sprach Zarathustra. Which probably makes Germany the coolest country ever that should have won wars instead of lost them.
