[Next Project] Edgar Saltus - The Perfume of Eros

[Bob Reus]

With Short Fiction ready for review, I'd like to finish up Edgar Saltus' The Perfume of Eros. As previously discussed in the Edgar Saltus - The Paliser Case thread, I started working on it as I was reading it to compare it to The Paliser Case. It needs a cover and a long description, and then it's pretty much done.

IA: https://archive.org/details/perfumeoferosfif00saltrich
PG: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/33207
Wordcount: 41913

Repository: https://github.com/bob-reus/edgar-saltus_the-perfume-of-eros

For the cover I would like to suggest Wet Night, Gramercy Park (After Rain; Nocturne) by Ernest Lawson, as Gramercy Park is where the victim is found of the murder mystery that spans the second half of the book.

OK, David will manage with Robin reviewing. I've assigned the artwork
