    Here is just the background mitochondria for you to work with, fade and no fade. The formatting is not a free for all. The title goes on top with the subtitle just under the main title. There must be...

    Re: Critique this book cover

    This is about as large as I can go with the photo because the bottom corner is reserved for publisher/endorser logos. I agree that with more of the bike shwoing, Greg is no longer floating in space....

    Re: Tribute to the Cornell Box
