If I really want to read a book and there are no other covers available though, I'll make do with the movie tie-in cover.

That's what happens when the covers are sent out to freelance artists who have not read the book or even its outline. <BR/><BR/>I am also turned off the title of a book is a cliche, or knitseashorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594976722011232979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-26529726086907159922008-03-29T08:14:00.000-04:002008-03-29T08:14:00.000-04:00But what about a book with Fabio on the cover?But what about a book with Fabio on the cover?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892795256613235278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-69405561376980150782008-03-28T14:43:00.000-04:002008-03-28T14:43:00.000-04:00Who doesn't love the smell of a new book and the c...Who doesn't love the smell of a new book and the crackle of the hard back loosening for the first time? In practice though I actually don't like hardback books (too bulky) and I also don't like those small paperbacks either. The inbetween size books with nice thick paper covers are just right for me. I also don't like to find writing in the margin because I start to wonder why they did that Mr Puffy's Knitting Blog:https://www.blogger.com/profile/10129149473915655930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-11872093731648179662008-03-28T13:26:00.000-04:002008-03-28T13:26:00.000-04:00Oh, I am painfully shallow when it comes to book c...Oh, I am painfully shallow when it comes to book covers.
