Congratulation to Zelena for a cover which if you don't love it the first time you see it, will grow on you, Thank you, I'll be here all week, Please bribe, errr, tip your judges generously.

As for what the captain has learned this week, he has been reminded that natural surrounding are indeed beautiful, but somehow lacking when put on paper (or a screen) as opposed to being experienced live. The settings all are important parts of the cover's appeal and it's portrayal of the story and the book's contents. Whether it's seeing the leaves turn colors as fall arrives or seeing plants visually return to life during the spring, we will be given please by getting off our butts, stop reading funny books, and going outside for some fresh air. Oh, take them funny books as the light is often much better outside.
