It seems strange as they are after all a great marketing tool. Books today, whilst to as nostaligic and evocative as before, do now, for the main part, take cover design seriously and some handsome jackets are once again being produced. Regards Rod Peter

I have been a fan of crime novel artwork for many years particularly the Charteris/Hodder novels from the late 20's onwards. I must say that the 1970's Hodder/Saint dw's took a distinct turn for the worse, rare they may be, attractive they certainly are not! Peter Rod,
