Juha
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 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.
Juha can design almost anything. He cleverly contacted
Crippen & Landru by doing mock-ups of covers for 2 of our
forthcoming books. (Most artists simply direct us to a
website with their portfolio, but Juha aimed his approach
directly toward what we were doing). We loved his ideas for
Liza Cody's Lucky Dip. He has also designed the cover for
Pronzini/Malzberg, Problems Solved, and the just-published
volume 10 of our Lost Classics series -- Bill DeAndrea's
Murder -- All Kinds, with an eyecatching illustration that
jumps out of the cover at the reader (and, we hope,
prospective purchaser). It is now on the homepage of our
website
(www.crippenlandru.com)
In short, Juha is good! And we're lucky that he found
C&L.
