Did this one for a friend. He wanted something that wouldn’t look out of place in a collection of vintage Ace paperbacks, complete with the signs of wear.
The cover art is by Anton van der Valk, done in 1913. (I love the public domain.) And the creases? They were the most fun. I went to a Deseret Industries thrift store, found a softcover with a plain dark back cover, brought it home and beat the crap out of it, then scanned it and overlaid it on the otherwise completed cover.
David will be releasing the book on his birthday, June 23 (the day before mine, in fact). He’s got a Facebook event for the release here.
Thanks Nathan!

This is one of your best.
Aw, thanks. It helps that I had the latitude to make it slightly cheesy.

How did you get such good bend marks?
By bending a real book cover (and bending and bending and bending), then scanning.
