Corwood, I have nothing to say on Joanna Newsom but I enjoyed hearing your reaction 'cause while I'm both oblivious to and generally apathetic about the folk tradition, there's nothing quite as refreshing as hearing an informed someone's personal reaction to a thing they're informed about.
David, I liked the swordf/isht/rombo/nes from Natter but I can see the publisher having another mind. What kind of freedom have you with it? Also, I know nothing about the album and, obviously, nothing about the book's relationship with it.
What kind of freedom have you with it?
They're open to suggestions but they can't break with the series design.
So it has to be that type size and font and it can't run vertically or diagonally.
I think that there'd be people interested in a book on Swordfishtrombones that wouldn't recognize that swordf/isht/rombo/nes ordered vertically on the cover is swordfishtrombones ordered vertically on a cover. Or maybe there isn't; what do I know?
David, I say Cover #2 no hyphen if you really can't get them to budge on the point size.
I think it is totally unreasonable that they won't let you knock the size down to make it fit. In fact, I am all irritated about it. That is what designers DO. I'm sorry, but your branding BLOWS if it is not flexible enought to meet your needs.

How oddly mysterious! The parts where they deviate from the melody are clearly referencing
something
but who knows what that something could be?
Thanks, P-C. As I said in Natter, I was very happy that quote made it in.
