>>You shouldn't "put down" the books your Wit's End
Publishing is involved
in. You did a fine job with Willford's The Second Half of the
Double Feature -- both in the quality of the contents and in
the design.<<
Thanks Doug; I should say that my "putting down" the books
has to do with a more trivial part (that few even care
about); the printed book, and that's more of a problem with
the printer. You get what you pay for. Now that we're
sticking with the trade editions and forgetting the
hardcovers it should be less of an issue. I *am* very proud
and happy with the contents; we spent a lot of time &
effort on it and if the text is all that matters, I believe
we delivered a wonderful addition to the Willeford canon. I'm
thrilled to have been able to do so. And, hell, I'm pretty
happy with the design too.
>>Thanks for your kind words about Carol Heyer's
brushwork for some of our
covers. Carol does what some people call "heightened realism"
-- marvelous, glowing detail. Tom Roberts, who has designed
the covers for most of our pulp-related books, has a similar
style.<<
That's right -- he's done some marvelous stuff for you! I'm
always envious as I can't really do that kind of stuff (I can
occasionally fake it with manipulated photos). The Hugh Cave
selection for example is marvelous.
Happy Thanksgiving! --Juha.
