I got 9. I knew them all except the one about the bones, which I guessed correctly because the characters looked a bit like anthropomorphih bones, and number 5, which I guessed incorrectly. I said "Fun Home", but I knew that had to be wrong...
I sort of guessed the Jerusalem one, too. I knew it wasn't "Palestine" as I know the cover of that, and it doesn't look like Joe Sacco's cartoonish style anyway, so that left Guy Delisle.
It helped that I have a lot of them on my bookshelves, but I didn't look, honest.
