The EGB stand for Eternal Golden Braid, the sub-title of the book.

I recall that the objects were carved from wood by Douglas Hofstadter, the author, himself. He also created a bunch of typefaces that allowed a word to be read backwards and forwards at the same time.

What a surprise today. This book, “Gödel Escher Bach”, still lies close at hand. I just can’t manage to work my way through it. But I’ve always been intruiged by the cover-illustration. Thanks.

That’s from the cover of a book! I’ve seen it somewhere in my dad’s giant bookshelf, it’s about the three of them apparently.
