Are you talking about the promo for

Yes, it is just a promo for
. It should also have come with a bookmark advertising Poe's album and this forum, unless you bought it used. The significance is that MZD has some good PR.

My interpretation was that it is a sideways equal sign, the book talks about how important it is to humans that things in the Universe "add up", that there is an answer for everything that makes sense, thus the equal sign.

Paws symbols?
