taking matters into my own hands

It's no wonder I never get any book covers published.  I seem to disagree about what they should look like.  Viv showed me a neat technique for removing them and doing your own whilst keeping the book intact.  Moomins and Thrones remain the copyright of their authors, naturally.  These are not for sale... just to make my shelves look nicer. 



Actually Tove Jansson  made lovely covers for the Moomin books.  For some reason new editions don't always have them.
