Amazing! Wonderful color and tone. Feels like I'm looking at authentic 1960s literature.

Fantastic illustration. Really lovely line work and the colour catch the eye, which is what you want in a book cover, right? I love it! The font is a bit busy for my liking and competes with the illustration for attention, but otherwise top job!
