Strangely enough, I made some nice cover images for my three PG submissions so I could put somewhat better formatted versions in the Kindle Store. I would have been happy to include these with my PG submissions if I had known it was possible! https://plus.google.com/photos/114689250113657220289/albums/5681329822764797... https://plus.google.com/photos/114689250113657220289/albums/5676125941560802... http://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Manners-Illustrated-ebook/dp/B0055OMGN0/ref=sr_1_6?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1326996235&sr=1-6 It would be good if this was better known. Maybe the White Washers could ask if someone wanted to include a cover image with his submission. They are not hard to make. A few minutes with The GIMP is all it takes.

OK thanks -- it didn't occur to me to look in DP for advice on how to target a PG tool.
Hopefully people who are providing an alt image for the "Blue PDA" realize that this image needs to include Title and Author. Which it will if people say just provide a jpg of the title page. But if they use the "first pretty picture" in the book, such as a frontal plate, then they need to use some kind of picture editing software to place title and author over that image.
Thanks again.
