Since the front page of my (newly-remodelled) blog has a small version of the cover without the graphic design work, I thought it might be nice to include a thumbnail of the complete cover with the titling. (Click on the image to view a larger version.)

Also, I was really pleased to see that Michael Hutchins, the book's editor, posted something on my dad's Night Shade Books discussion forum. I hope maybe the whole A Reverie for Mr. Ray crew -- Michael Bishop (author), Michael Hutchins (editor), Jeff VanderMeer (introduction credit), and I (er, artist)-- will get some props over there...

One quick correction: I just noticed that this isn't exactly the final version of the cover. The author text on the spine will be rotated and printed 90 degrees clockwise (same orientation as the spine title) when it goes to press.
