  10. These are so old, that I have dropped price for some of the covers as low as 10€ (Or you can choose to pay more to support my art) - like this one! AND it comes with a FREE refresh of the art.

    Each cover comes with illustrated title for the author name. But you can also pay for the mine title swap, and paperback separately.
