General description of the dust cover |
The cover photograph is uncredited and shows James Herbert seated in a chair. The back of the dust jacket shows a combination of the letters 'J' and 'H' in gold that is the first appearance of James Herbert's logo. This will regularly appear on future book releases (and incidentally is something that James Herbert uses on his own personal stationary). The front flap of the dust cover tells you about the contents of the book and the rear flap gives details about James Herbert's and (editor) Stephen Jones' previous work. |
