Kudos for one of the most compelling covers, ever, on this month's journal. My wife, not a turner, said, "That makes me want to pick it up to look inside." I agree. Well done, Betty!
 
Thank you, John! I think much of the credit goes to the Center for Art in Wood's logo, which is fantastic and very contemporary. I heard that "orange is the new black."

Linnea Stenberg is the art director who designs the covers and does the layout. I simply gave her several photos as options and she did the rest. She occasionally checks the AAW Form, so I'll tell her to take a peek on Monday.

I'll second John's compliment. Huge eye appeal in the cover. And the content lived up to the promise the cover made. Nice issue.
