      Definitely the first one for me - and a great improvement to the previous versions! I`d definitely pick that book up. As it has been mentioned, needs some compositional tweaking with the text, but otherwise I think it works really well!

        Thank you all for your help with this! It is so helpful to get all of your views on these and to get your advice on needed tweaks - To answer your question Kathryn, the book will include the original text also - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is in the public domain now, which makes it possible for me to gratefully use it - Thank you all again 🙂

          @kevin-longueil Wow, this cover has evolved. It looks fantastic! I definitely prefer the 1st one. I've been away from this discussion while focusing on preparing for a conference, so forgive me if I'm repeating a question already answered: Are you planning to do a final version in color? I hope so because I think it could look even more amazing and marketable.

              @kevin-longueil Wow, I had never thought of the possibility of illustrating a book in the public domain. I think your finished work will be a big success. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question!

                      These are great! It would be a toss up between the first two for me - images with characters in are much more engaging, you cant hep but be drawn in when a character appears to be staring at you. I do like the verticals used in the building and the sense of longevity and foreboding it creates and for that reason i'd lean slightly more towards the first image - the text cuts that off a bit in the second. If i was going to nitpick the first one i'd say shrink the top three characters slightly and move them down a little to play up the scale of the building and give your text a bit more breathing space.

                        It looks like the first one will be the direction I go with this -Thank you all for your feedback - It helps me a lot! Kathryn, you should check out http://www.gutenberg.org/ there are so many public domain books out there! I may do another after I finish my Oz project - just need to find the right one 🙂
