    Damn you, Evan. First Highsmith, now Cain. If you start designing Dawn Powell covers, I'll throw myself off a building--and land on you.

    Excellent work by all involved. But shouldn't the Mildred Pierce image be a bunch of pies?

    not so clever B&W graphic design. big point-sized title letters like on a film poster overwhelms. "mildred's cover of seashore really misses. should be muted colours like (in the HBO series) of diner (w/neon sign) near laguna beach @ early evening. IMHO, this is too much promotion of relationship to film rather than stand alone novels, but if i were to pick the most successful design outta these overwrought book covers it would be hitchhiking hi-way of "...postman..."
