The Power of A Compliment

December 8, 2007

   I complimented artist Vladimir Zimakov for his book cover of Moby Dick. Below is the email exchange 

and the wonderful result.

I would have never bought if not for what you did!

Thank you so much! Moby Dick has been ilustrated so much in the past that I almost gave up. But I guess I am doing something right. Thanks again for the email!

Hi
  Is there a way to order a poster version of your Moby Dick cover? I wish Vintage covers were made into large posters. Ciao!

So unfortunately Vintage don't make posters (though they should, since their book cover art is quite awesome lately). In any case, I can send you an original print that they used for the cover of Moby Dick. Just let me know where to send it to.

  Wow, saying Thank You can get you a whale of a surprise!
