In all fairness to what we're doing at Ramble House, I encourage you to check out our website www.ramblehouse.com to view a larger selection of our covers (most but not all executed by myself).

It is the sort of concept that requires the efforts of two dedicated minds.<br /><br />MrIndie Day: "I don't know if this is supposed to induce arousal or vomit." I think a subtle combination of the two is the correct response.<br /><br />Matthew: They should commission you to write cover blurbs for all of theuir books in the form of lewd limericks. And the thing is, I don't know that it would actually make them any weirder.<br /><br />Tulkinghorn: It's surprising how stylish and normal some of those covers made Keeler's work look. Quite what his publishers made of him I do not know.<br /><br />Stuart: Just iamgine what a classy job they would have made of a book with a title like 'The Nigger Factory'.JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-90866094695638727902010-08-09T10:37:36.194-07:002010-08-09T10:37:36.194-07:00Wow!
