How to rescue a bad photo outing.
More on my blog: Jericho Park: Turning a 4x5 disaster into a Canlit Novel dust jacket.
1) Get 4x5 sheets back from developer and recoil in horror at over exposed, badly cropped nightmare.
2) Go home and scan it anyway (the wrong way so that the moire shows up not on purpose)
3) Start playing in Lightroom with tone, levels, grad filters
4) Bring it into Photoshop
5) Move GEESE around
6) Remove tourists who ran into the frame to 'play with geese'
7) Make it all into a Canlit novel dust jacket
Now I feel a lot better.

The Wind in the Willows needs no introduction. Since it was first published in 1908 it has had dozens of imitators, but remains the classic of its kind. Mole, Water Rat, Badger and Toad are by now four great Englishmen. If you could look into most dreaming English heads, you would sooner or later see Mole asking Queen Elizabeth to dance, Water Rat and Tennyson snoring in unison, having rhymed each other to sleep, Badger and Cromwell discussing the turnip crop, and Toad in Henry the Eighth's bedroom trying on his robes and crown."

Dustjacket cover of "The Master Passion" by Halliwell Sutcliffe, written in 1926. This edition is published by John Long Ltd. of London, as part of their 2s Net Series in 1927.
Halliwell Sutcliffe was a prolific author who wrote over 40 books between the 1890s and 1930s. Many of his novels are historical romantic dramas set in the Yorkshire Dales (including a series set in Haworth, renamed as the fictional Marshcotes). He was born in Thackley in April 1870. At the time the family was living at Cross Roads, but then moved to Bingley. He was educated at Bingley Grammar School (where his father was headmaster) then at King's College, Cambridge, where he read mathematics. He married Mabel Cottrell of Twickenham in 1904, they had two sons, and lived in Embsay then Linton-in-Craven. It was here that Sutcliffe died in January 1932, aged 61. He was passionate about the outdoors, becoming the first president of the West Riding Ramblers' Federation, and his ashes were scattered on his beloved moors.
The book is from the personal collection of History Society member Tim Neal and was scanned on behalf of the Society in May 2019.

After days of riding dusty roads and trails, I couldn't find a single piece of gear, from clothing, to camera, to laptop computer, that didn't have dust on it.
The latest from James Frey and his first which is very much most definitely (probably) fiction. And it's...a cracking good read. It's a homage to LA following four main stories in amongst a range of other shorter tales of individuals and portraits of pieces of LA, punctuated with chapter heads with snippets of the history of the place from when it was established up to now.
The four stories themselves are really engaging and unlike a Crash or many other books of this ilk they do not intertwine they just paint the picture of LA from different people's perspectives and this style works really well and the book as with Frey's other work rapidly becomes a real page turner with a desire and interest to find out how these individual characters lives will develop. There is the usual mix of character personalities as well - with their weaknesses to the fore as well as their strengths and an ending which again leaves you wondering about how things turn out and how people end up getting what they do/don't deserve a la Million Little Pieces.
My recommendation - take a couple of days off, get a cup of coffee, sit on the sofa and read it in a very satisfying day or two.
Last year Portfolio Books published Wild Delaware that focuses on wildlife and wild places in the First State. Wild Delaware is 260 pages and beautifully printed in full color, hard bound and has a French-fold dustjacket.
There are still some autographed, first edition copies available from the publisher at:
Wild Delaware is the state's #1 bestselling book ever. If you order a copy through the website you will receive four signed lithographs with each book.
Dustjacket to The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, vol. 1. "Jacket by Sagebrush." 1970. Has to be one of the ugliest covers I've seen.
The very last book I bought at Shinsaibashi Maruzen Bookstore.
Shinsaibashi Maruzen Bookstore was colose on July 31st and will move to a new place.
This book is about the history and culture about the street on which the bookstore had been for 106 years.
A white paper is, so-called in Japanese, a book-cover.
I know "book-cover" is an Engrish word, or a Japanese English word.
The "book-cover" is used to cover the book up like a dust jacket.
"Book-cover"s are very common in Japan, and they are made by many Japanese bookstores, publishers and so on to advertise them.
心斎橋丸善の最終日に買った本は『モダン道頓堀探検』でした。
帯付きと帯の無いのと2冊あったのですが、もちろんこの帯付きを選びました。
丸善のブックカバーは、そのときの店舗をしっかりと反映しているそうです。

From Publishers Weekly:
The death of a nameless prostitute in a glitzy Melbourne high-rise is the first in a series of crimes that Insp. Stephen Villani discovers are all tied to protecting the interests of the city's elite in this brutal tale of corruption, greed, and revenge from Australian author (and Ned Kelly Award–winner) Temple (The Broken Shore). Burdened by a shaky marriage and an increasingly rebellious teenage daughter while trying to stay afloat in Melbourne's treacherous political climate, Villani doesn't know where to turn. The discovery of three savagely tortured men with ties to one of the city's biggest crime bosses only adds another layer to the already twisted case, and makes Villani question eve-rything he thought he knew about the line between cop and criminal. Temple's elliptical storytelling—the past and the present are often interchangeable—fits the slippery subject of deeply ingrained police corruption and one man's determination to uncover the truth.

This one was rejected by the client as too conceptual. The final was good too, but mostly decorative.
in the story, somehow some higher power is able to travel in time… nothing new there… and they go back to the days of columbus. so in the comp (which is what this was), i had the idea of somehow showing an etching of columbus coming to life. so you can see the old time drawing of columbus with a sideways profile that smudges into photo-realism, like the drawing came to life. that is backed by an old compass that is juxtaposed with some semi-digital count-down of the ages.'
it always bugged me this was rejected… back in 1994. what they had me do instead was the same type backed up by a plain old field of stars. full bleed, cover to cover.
WHA?
First edition, with "First Published in April 1939" on copyright page and first edition notice on front flap of dust jacket. 8vo., publisher's heavy grain decorated beige cloth. A near fine copy in like dustjacket, bright, clean and fresh. Housed in a tailor made leather spined case. Inscribed by the author to the front flyleaf:
"For Jules and Joyce and also Joan with love John Steinbeck."
Beneath the signature is one of Steinbeck's irreverent flying pig sketches (or "Pigasus" if you prefer), generally an indication that the recipient of his presentation was a close and valued friend,or someone he held in high esteem. In this case it was Jules Buck, and Joyce Gates, with their young daughter, Joan. Jules Buck started out as John Huston's camerman for his wartime documentaries (”Winning Your Wings", "Let There Be Light" etc.) and then grew into an influential producer, both in the US and abroad. Although having a sketchy working relationship with Huston, they reportedly fell out over Huston's anti-Semitic behaviour (Huston later referred to Buck as "My body servant" which is obviously super healthy). He collaborated with Steinbeck on the screenplay of what would end up as Elia Kazan's "Viva Zapata", although uncredited, and later produced "The Killers", "The Naked City" etc. before shifting to Europe to escape the Hollywood witch hunts, founding a production company with Peter O'Toole (Keep Films) and producing such wonders as "Under Milk Wood", "The Day They Robbed The Bank of England", "Lord Jim" and "What's New Pussycat" Joyce Gates was an actress in various small, often uncredited, roles in movies like "Kismet", and their daughter Joan is a notable journalist, writer, and all round renaissance woman by all accounts; at one point the London correspondent for Warhol's "Interview" magazine, the only American to have been editor-in-chief of French Vogue, and the subject of Tom Wolfe's "The Life and Hard Times of a Teenage London Society Girl.", later published in "The Pump House Gang." She started studying acting in 2002, and appeared in Nora Ephron's "Julie and Julia", later writing about the experience of auditioning for Ephron. She fell from grace after Vogue published a decidedly lightweight and grievously ill timed interview with Asma al-Assad, wife of Bashar al-Assad. Frankly they seem fascinating, but basically the point is that Steinbeck knew them very well, and liked them, and inscribed his sad, slow, strange, dust-bowl novel to them. A really gorgeous and interesting association copy of an undeniably great book.
Very nice quality, though I do not have an Asuka to compare this to. One of the pages had a slice down through a portion of it where it ha been bound incorrectly. I called WHCC and they QUICKLY remade a replacement. Called them Tuesday when mine arrived and the replacement was in my hands by Friday morning. I was impressed. The dust jacket is on photographic paper and is very heavy and almost a plastic coated feel to it, but I like it. Not a slippery slick type of dust jacket like most books have.
