Kidnapped! cover

[Alex Cabal]

David, I see that Kidnapped! was also illustrated by NC Wyeth:
https://books.google.com/books?id=PgwCAAAAYAAJ

What do you think of updating our existing cover to use one of the Wyeth
illustrations?

[David Grigg]

I’ll be happy to have a look at it. I seem to recall considering them at the time, but couldn’t find an acceptable one. I’ll try again.

Regards,

David

I bet that was before Gigapixel. :)

[David Grigg]

I mustn’t have looked hard enough last time. What about this:

That would work, but what about something more dramatic?

Or this one?

The one you found is almost portraitlike and we have so many of those
kinds of covers already

The fight scene is certainly dramatic, but doesn’t include the protagonist. The foggy mountaintop one is, well, foggy and probably won’t scale up well.

Are you OK with this shipwreck scene?

Sure, let's go with that one. Let me know when you've pushed it in, and
don't forget build-images

[David Grigg]

I’ve changed my mind. I can’t find or generate a reproduction of the shipwreck scene that looks good enough. Let’s go with the siege of the roundhouse one after all.

[Alex Cabal]

Also don't forget the metadata and colophon!

[David Grigg]

Of course not. Don’t expect it until next week, however. I have a VERY busy Friday and weekend ahead of me working on non-SE things.

[David Grigg]

OK, that's now done and pushed.

[Alex Cabal]

Thanks!
