Since we felt we got the right tone across the first time, we decided to go back to Jon and see if he'd be up for revisiting it. (It also helped that I knew he really loved the book.)<BR/><BR/>You are right that it is unusual to go back to the same artist for new cover. More typically, if we are changing the cover for mass market, we are doing so to get a completely different feel on the book. Sometimes it's because we failed to get the hardcover the right audience, other times it's just the nature of paperback publishing versus hardcover publishing. <BR/><BR/>Most paperbacks are _not_ bought in bookstores, they are bought on impulse in drug stores, airports, supermarkets, etc. Because of that, the feeling is that you have to "STOP THE SHOPPING CART!" Things need to pop more, more foil and emboss, etc. Hardcovers are often bought in bookstores were people take their time and browse more...plus you have a lot more room to do more subtle things with.<BR/><BR/>Dale - Jon did study with Phil and Rick Berry. His early work shows that influence but I think Jon is very much his own artist. Phil was hugely influential to the entire science fiction and fantasy field, you could argue _the_ most influential in 20 years. He started an avalanche of exciting work from the many artists that have been inspired by him and then added their own voice to the conversation.Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1164900717299258912006-11-30T10:31:00.000-05:002006-11-30T10:31:00.000-05:00I love Jon's work.

Their work, especially Jon's earlier work, is very similar.<BR/>DaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1164897713661419692006-11-30T09:41:00.000-05:002006-11-30T09:41:00.000-05:00Thank you for showing this, I had seen his work bu...Thank you for showing this, I had seen his work but was unfamiliar with his published art books.

Rather, why do some books use the same art for the hardback & paperback, while others get new art (esp. from the same artist)?<BR/><BR/>(Apologies if you've talked about this before and I missed it; I searched and didn't see an obvious post about this, but I'm a poor searcher.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
