Favorite Finds: “Sun in the Hunter’s Eyes”

Every year, I browse through thousands of book-cover images online, saving out those about which I would like to find some excuse to write. And every year, my imagination fails to provide me with sufficient reason to comment on a many of my choices. Rather than dispose of the excess, I keep the scans in my computer files, hoping to one day include them in a themed celebration of cover work or perhaps a gallery of paintings by their artists. But why wait? For the next week, I’ll be posting some favorite book art discovered during 2018, beginning with today’s example: Sun in the Hunter’s Eyes, by Mark Derby (Crest, 1959), with cover art by Ted CoConis.
