Angel Wars: selling like hotcakes, garnering nice reviews
filed in Book Cover Illustrations and Artwork, Book Graphic Design on Aug.28, 2011
Stephen Quayle’s Angel Wars is selling like hotcakes and continues to garner great interest and some nice reviews (like this one at Prophecy in the News.)
Here’s the cover illustration I created for the book:
I also had the good fortune to be able to do the layout not only on the cover but also the entire text, creating a few additional B&W pictures to go along with it. Here’s the cover spread:
It turned out to be a massive book, with the pages measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, laid out with two columns per page for ease in reading. The page count came in at 444 (with over 600 footnotes). There’s a whole lot of reading between these covers.
If you’re interested in how the angels (and demons) tie into the present age, as well as the future, you’ll find this book of interest. It can be ordered from Prophecy in the News.
