Covers in the Gallery

An Old Friend
I just uploaded some covers into the cover art gallery.

If you look at the writer's names that appear on the covers it brings back memories.

I will be googling for a while on those. I wonder how many of the stories are available for free now? I bet Fantastic Fiction has alot of them!

Recognize any? There's More...
 
Skwirlinator, good to see if you noticed I added the new category. :cool: I added it last night but didn't mention it because I didn't have a chance to go through the rest of the categories to movie any existing uploads into the new category.

I think one of the reasons why I was drawn to scif-fi & fantasy books of the 60's and 70's was because of the covers. There were just so many covers done by contempary artists that I think it really is a medium that deserves more attention.
 
i bought some "book cover prints" on ebay once, laminated to use as small pictures in my study area, hung on wall.

what i got was colour printouts on matt white bog standard paper, laminated. the blue was incorrect and so i realised i got counterfeit "prints"

dependent on area of sales and year of publishing/reprint you see different covers available, noticeable on www.fantasticfiction.com and it's always amusing to see the first prints available with books when you hold in your hands a more modern reprinting.

a good print is worthy of a good book, but thats not what i go on when i buy a book. the author, the theme/genre and especially the blurb on the back of the book, thats what makes me buy it!
