1 cover caught -- and linked . Thank you :D

Philip Melanchthon was the 1 we replaced because of a missing h wasn't it, maybe the change got stuck somewhere, I'll look and give it a nudge.
Looks Ok now

Please provide the project number (the number at the end of the URL when you're in the MW, or in the link when you hover over the BC Admin link in the first post). :) It saves us having to hunt your thread and that number ourselves. ;)

Actually, having looked at the process of making a cover, I don't think I'm up to doing this. So I hereby unpreclaim the cover for 'The Idea of a University' - I'll leave it to someone experienced. But may I make a plea for the designer to use this image of John Henry Newman:

https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=6%2FpTjjvj&id=1ACAD1EF1695CAEDCAC0B3900FF4E08E1391C4C9&thid=OIP.6_pTjjvjiWlI3BdWtU1FqgHaLS&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cardinaljohnhenrynewman.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F07%2F7-Engraving-of-Newman-by-Henry-MacLean-based-on-a-portrait-by-George-Richmond.jpg&cdnurl=https%3A%2F%2Fth.bing.com%2Fth%2Fid%2FRebfa538e3be3896948dc1756b54d45aa%3Frik%3DycSRE47g9A%252bQsw%26pid%3DImgRaw&exph=6999&expw=4593&q=john+henry+newman&simid=608024351083468672&ck=D62E4A97ADBAE70FEE68B5C3D5D3EE19&selectedindex=210&form=IRPRST&ajaxhist=0&vt=0

It's out of copyright and is of Newman as he would have looked at the time he wrote this book.

Many thanks,

Andrew Nash.

Could you tell me if this works?
I couldn't resize a lot as the image was becoming illegible.
But I hope this would suffice.

I think the image looks great! The title is wrong, though. (You have "A Fool Makes Many" but it's "ONE Fool Makes Many".) ;)

The 600x600 without the _itemimage tag is a really large file size. :hmm:

I think I'll retire from cover-making. Yours are spectacular. :lol:

Oh my bad. I'll change it to 'one'.
And thanks a lot. I'm enjoying making them. Sadly there's no more to claim.

I didn't really look at the specs of the files. Here's a full run-down:

one_fool_makes_many_2104 is 2519x2519 but should be 300x300.
one_fool_makes_many_2104_itemimage is 800x800 but should be 300x300.
one_fool_makes_many_2104_thumb is 300x300 but should be 150x150.

The PDF file looks OK to me.

Thank you to Availle for the cover for Hawaiian Hilltop! It's a really nice use of the cover illustration.
