I tracked down the photographer, a fella in Italy, and he most graciously sent me a higher res copy, and his blessing to use it as a cover. I, too, sent him a copy of the book when it was published.

Yes, writers must indeed do what you did.<br />As a matter of fact, I always loved a blog masthead by a Canadian poet. So, for my "Nile Conspiracy" I, too, contacted him and asked, with the same beneficial result.<br />New puppy, eh? That'll be the best remembrance to Jesse James - for you and for him.Inge H.
