I got home from a week by the sea to find my copy of James Jean's Fables Covers collection waiting for me. It's very beautiful... and so fascinating to see how each image is developed, from concept sketch through to final. The other element that really appeals to me is the inclusion of the extracts from the text that formed part of the brief for each cover - so you can get a sense of the connection between the words and the image that grew from them. Yum. AND... it's signed. Thrills! I'm going to go and peruse it at my leisure now....
