[FM Discuss] Cover images, designs for "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!"

[Anne Gentle]

Hi -
I like this one the best I think:
http://picasaweb.google.com/nicestep/CoverImagesForMakeYourOwnSugarActivities#5515076778130732626.
Does anyone else on the list have a preference?

So am I making the final book cover? I don't want to duplicate effort if
there's one out there already - these screenshots look like there's a source
file somewhere that I can use. Can you send that to me when it's done? I
noticed the page count difference. The spine and cover width (and lozenge
cutoff) should be fine as long as the spine text is centered.

Please send me the final, final, final PDF when the artist's bio is
available and you have reviewed it to your satisfaction. Then I'll update
the project in Lulu so I can make a review copy.

We can use some funds from prior OLPC book sales to get another review copy,
so don't worry about sending money around.

Thanks,
Anne
