I finally managed to get an acceptable one from a friend at Random House. However still not perfect. Have you seen then new Camus series? Wow. Whoever she is she deserves a box of chocolates. <BR/>Makes my photo look terribly unsophisticated - and it was one of my favorite "photo illustrations" ! Still is. But.....perhaps not in the context of that particular design. <BR/>My E:<BR/>barnabyhallphoto@yahoo.com <BR/><BR/>Am still searching for Mr Marber.<BR/> My cousin Lucia, Germano Facetti's daughter, probably knows where he is but she's holed up in N. Italy dealing with the archives and the imposing spirit of her father. Apparently guests have "seen","heard" and "experienced" disquieting things in the house. There is unrest. Hmm.

I've got a decent-ish scan of that edition of 'The Stranger' I could send you if you let me know an email address. I nicked it from Amazon's "Search Inside" database. Other pics I get from there, or from ABE, or from my own collection, or wherever else I can find them.JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-82954693233356593502008-09-10T08:33:00.000-07:002008-09-10T08:33:00.000-07:00Moomins.

She probably wouldn't have been flattered.<BR/>Ever read the Fattypuffs and the Thinnifers?<BR/>Where do you find all the GOOD scans of so many book jackets? Currently searching for Vintage International 1989 Camus - The Stranger, which I need to compliment my original pic for a bookjacket show. Cannot find a decent scan anywhere. Even the designer Marc Cohen in NYC doesn't have one ! I guess it was an odd time.

Even worse, the old Patheon edition of 'The Summer Book' I have has NO cover illustration, just the type. A wasted opportunity.JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-40390961345016872112008-09-08T11:19:00.000-07:002008-09-08T11:19:00.000-07:00My first reaction to the Jansson-drawn cover of Su...My first reaction to the Jansson-drawn cover of Sun City was to laugh at its psychedelic flavor. But on looking at it again, I realize that it's perfect (which is what you would expect, of course), even the large head of Christ is appropriate.
