cheetah Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I like a lot of FH covers for a lot of reasons. Often, it is just the quality of the copy and the brilliance of the colors. A lot of the Church books have always stood out to me because of this. My scans do not always live up to the book in hand so I remember the book for its brilliance but am underwhelmed by the scans I have left of it. These are some of the ones that stand out to me from the titles I collected. i intentionally didn't duplicate the ones others have shown. Alan's have always been superior copies to anything I ever held.

My only disappointment with it is the lack of strong reds. I only ever saw one other copy and it had worse coloring. Still a great cover with an atypical subject for FH.

I doze my way through most auctions, but occasionally get woken up. Don't know if you tracked the Jon Berk Auction, Jeff? If not, here's the one book I had to have.

I only heard about Jon passing away later. I did not see the auction at all. I should go back and look at the heritage magazine that covered it. IIRC, he had the original cover art to Pkanet 1.
