Dod final book cover illustration and layout

Here’s the going-to-print version of Book I: The Adventures of Dod by Thomas R. Williams. As readers may notice, the typefaces have undergone another transformation from those shown in my previous post about this book cover. The front cover illustration has remained pretty much the same with a “cut out” of the character’s head going over the title.

Because some books are displayed in bookstores with only their spine showing, the publisher took advantage of the high page count of this book, placing a small crop taken from the front illustration on the spine.

Nice.
