I like them better than the Maitz versions. They strike me as\n\"old fashioned\" somehow. (This is not necessarily a bad thing.) Perhaps it\nis because they are scans of worn covers, but I would have guessed that the\nbooks were published at least 25 years ago, just judging from the cover\nart. They remind me slightly of Gray Morrow's work, although I am not sure\nthis would hold up after a side-by-side comparison.\n\nWilliam Ansley"
