Without even glancing at all the titles I couldn't help but say that each and every cover of the books you pictured is so fascinating in its own, unique way. I love book cover art!
ReplyDeleteA bit slow on the uptake here, but i'm writing from Hesperus Press and wanted to thank you for your attentions. Our Autumn 2007 catalogue has just come into stock, and I wondered whether you would like a copy? If so, please email with a postal address at enquiries@hesperuspress.com.
