I'm still mystified. Sorry. You mention "the first post." In which thread? I can be very blind, I know, but I have looked at several different threads and don't know which you refer to. It can't be this one.

Every forum project has a First Post, some call it the Original Post, or Opening Post. It's where the project is described and tells you just what to do. You go back to Page 1 of any project, and there it is. At the bottom of every page you'll see all the page numbers in squares: 1, 2, 3, thru 125, or some such.

It appears many times on the page that led me here but never with any explanation of how to make a claim to create a cover. Administrators have kindly made claims for me, so I have been able to contribute many covers for my own readings, but I was hoping to be able this time to make the claim myself, possibly even to create covers for the work of others. Yet I have poked around in the website for 45 minutes with never a clue.

Hello, chymocles,

If you or the MCs don't mind me popping in - I know how hard it can be sometimes to find what you're looking for. I think this first post of the Covers working thread has what you're looking for?: Volunteer CD Covers! Working Thread.

I've moved some posts out of the working thread and over to this one, to keep that thread more clean (it's for claims and submissions; this one is for comments, suggestions, and questions.)

I didn't realize there was already a discussion going on over here, so the moved posts are interspersed with the existing discussion. Sorry about that.

Tom - your preclaim in the working thread is A-OK.

I did modify the first post in the working thread a little bit, to make it a little more clear. Thanks for the suggestion, Michele.

Edit to add: Yes, it's a clunky system. It grew organically, so it's not the most sophisticated way to do it, probably. :)

Thanks! I am glad I was able to find PD illustrations made for the book. (There were some color ones I liked better, but they were published in 1931.)

I don't make covers. But just thought that I would share this war photo that is in the public domain:

A quiet game of chess between two members of the 7th Australian Light Horse Regiment (7ALH), camped by the Suez Canal preparatory to revisiting Gallipoli. Note the rifle in front of the shelter. In late 1918, members of 7ALH were chosen to represent the regiment on a tour of the old battlefields of Gallipoli. The group, predominantly made up of Gallipoli veterans, disembarked on the peninsula on 4 December 1918.

People do a lot of war memoir books. There is a low res version downloadable.
