I'm doing something odd, just because...I have one ebook distributed by Zon and D2D. I always thought it would be cool if ebook authors could offer multiple book covers and let readers pick one. Especially if you want to be creative with ebook covers. Not so easy for paperbacks. So, on D2D, I colorized my book cover to add a twilight feel, while on Zon, it isn't treated that way. I'm selling two different ebook covers simultaneously, varied only by shading. But what if the reader could choose book covers for their novel from a selection of maybe three? I purchased a couple of book covers for my recent book, and only published one. What if the reader could choose the other one if they preferred? Just a thought. Seems fun to me. #scribesAndMakers #art #arts #mastoArt #books #bookstodon #booksky #book #cover #reading #readingCommunity #readers #read #mastodon #thursday #bookcovers #thefifthseduction #goosecreekholler #beerpour #writing #writers #writer #author #authors #writersCoffeeClub

cover for The Arabian Night's Entertainments by Andrew Lang, H. J. Ford, 1898
Love the way they made book covers in 1898. I haven't read all these stories so I don't know if the cover is illustrating a fairy tale. I love this demon flying over the wonderful city at night.
It's available a lot of places including here:
