This really irks me as it messes with covers where I want one or more edges to blend in with the black background so the cover doesn't look like a square, or the letters appear to hang off the edges.

Here, the cover black is darker than the black background (first link under the thumbnail)

Here, the cover black is lighter than the black background (link to IA project page).

Do you see the same thing? Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this could be?

It's a sweet little story, based on some pretty sad historical events.

I hope someone can create an attractive, touching cover for

The Death Disk by Mark Twain

I'd be happy to make your cover, John, alas I've already claimed my limit of 2. If it isn't claimed by the time I finish one of these, I'll pick it up.

Most galleries make money by selling prints so if they spend good money digitising their collections properly they do not want people downloading the images to make prints to sell. And that is far enough
But I think it is OK to use them the way we do as long as the painting itself is PD in the USA

I'm not an international copyright lawyer but I'm happy for them to be used as covers

We've cataloged nine projects today, and something like that yesterday, too. Wow!

https://librivox.org/uploads/covers/Salvationist.zip

I noticed that Bradbury isn't linked as one of the two authors, even though the summary indicates that Brackett and Bradbury each wrote parts of the the story. The other LibriVox recording of this story credits both authors, so I think this one should as well.

Also, I noticed a couple of typos in the first sentence of the summary. The sentence currently reads "Written Published in Planet Stories in 1946, this The story itself is a great mix of Golden Age Sci Fi and Swords & Sorcery." I recommend removing the words "Written", "The", and "itself" to make the following: "Published in Planet Stories in 1946, this story is a great mix of Golden Age Sci Fi and Swords & Sorcery."
