The genesis of a (fantastic) cover.

Check out this magnificent article by Christopher Meeks, author of THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN AND THE SEA, about the evolution of the cover of his newest book/play.

Very cool info, and brings home the importance of a quality cover. Would you pick up (buy) the book with the Lulu cover? Would you pick up (buy) the book with the final cover?

Excellent stuff. And an excellent final cover, to boot! (In fact, I loved three or four of them.)
