Fun project for a good friend. The book is great - a sci-fi mystery I couldn’t put down! Check it out if you’re into that sort of thing.

Nice! The cover of a book has a profound effect on people’s expectations from a book. That looks great.

Excellent work! I really like the juxtaposition of shadowy and bright colors as well as the font choice. Do you have a portfolio somewhere? I’m a graphic designer so this sort of stuff is exciting to me. A project like this would be super cool to work on.

Projections! How to convert the round surface of the earth to the flat surface of a map! T hat’s what it’s about, right?

And, just so we’re clear, “Inception” and “Interstellar” are the most over-hyped, nonsense-saturated  films of the last 30 years. Can’t wait for “Tenet” .

That is all.

Thanks! It’s a matte finish - one of the self-publish options from Amazon.

All of the Above - You know too much about maps and thei r foibles to pick just one projection for every occasion. Your closet has dress shoes, but you have cycling shoes in the garage, five-finger shoes for the beach, and both running shoes and  rubber boots by the door because you’re always ready for a trip outside whether it’s been raining for 24 hours or dry for two.

Danker-Dake sounds like German- Dutch phrase for getting so high you can’t remember off who’s supply. Or the dangers of sharing air.

I can tell you this: his wife LOVES the fact that there’s a (newly-legal) medical cannabis dispensary called “The Dankery” in town.
