I also hope they spend more effort on the cover design, to make it representative and worthy of the contents.
The very plain lettering on the front of
A MEANS TO FREEDOM I find painfully ugly. How could they leave it at that?!
Publishing such
expensive books, is
not only all about the effort of making the letters available; it is also about book design. It should be. Sorry to sound fussy, but I don't want to spend $100 on a set of books just to get the contents, if the books aren't in the least attractive.
Personally I'd like to see the colouring of the Lovercaft/CAS volume in black and green prehaps, for the right mood. Something like this
book. But that's discussable. Bright may be more suitable for collected letters, to reflect their enlightenment. In any case, I prefer the more subdued quietly tasteful book design of the past, over today's roaring out.
