Title: Cover Color: Blue
Post by: Mungo on January 04, 2008, 05:51:20 AM: Hi,

In my shelf there is the HARP LE hardbound in dark red and next to it the HARP hardbounds in green. Therefore, as it would fit nicely colorwise and also because since SM:P it is the color I associate with "space books":

I would love to have a dark and saturated blue as the background color for the HARP.

And if possible please only one color, I was a bit disappointed by the RMCs where there is a strange brown stripe on the black background on the small side facing you when you put them in a shelf.

My personal hardbounds of the manuscript have been midnight-black and slate-grey so blue would work on my shelves too! :)

From my perspective, I'll just be happy to see it published in due course.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

I certainly am looking forward to this, also, would it be possible to get the pdf in colour? most pdfs tend to have b/w covers... I know there are reasons for this, but hey I?m only asking and I think it would be very neat!

And RMCs are on the left hand side before the red LE hardbound, so black/brown-red-green-black would lead to some dullness in my bookshelf.

I wouldn't know. I have only seen a handful of GURPS books in passing. :)
