I know it is - that is great to see the submissions you made this
morning - I have put it to use already and I think everyone will see
immediately that is better - truth is I was surprised by the quite on
the design list from that cover, because it was 'scatter-esque' at
best..

The latest update, with your latest graphics can be found here:

Tim, Jeff, et al - this is a blending of the white and green background,
it gives the cover a nice depth I think - and then use of the real
scatter motif for the front. I did leave the scatter-esque graphic for
the background on the back, which I think really works well.

Sorry for touching this again, but this is an improvement I think.

Thanks again Nik,

Drew
