Can't argue with the winners, but I really don't like either the bubble or the exploding diamond runner ups. I agree that Zenmusician had a strong entry. I wish he was a back up instead of the bubble one.

For the SNG book I liked Zen's the best, although OMG's is sharp also (though I liked one of his other versions better than the one that was selected). Same thing with Roxy's cover, I thought other versions looked better then the three-headed one. I think all three of the runner-ups (including mine) will improve greatly with some revision & color work...

Richard K's design is especially first-rate IMO. The colors though, especially the grey, don't seem to work. I really think that this might have been a winning entry with a less complex color scheme.

There were so many good designs though, I'd guess a lot of them might not have been selected due to covers being too dark, or some other marketing-type reason.

Default Is there a reason this thread is still locked?

The books are already out. All is it is doing is clogging up the 1st page of the forum. I think it is time to let it go.

Does Sklansky's mirror image in the PNLH back cover photo give you a different impression of him? Assume that the middle image is what he sees in the mirror. I think the non-mirror image makes him look more daunting at a poker table.

My apologies to Mason, he is so modest he didn't even ever point out why Sit 'N Go has the correct use of apostrophes--and I didn't realize it until today:

it's a contraction of "Sit Then Go" or "Sit until filled, then Go."

It takes a true poohbah to let the students figure it out.

I hope I can get credit for this idea:

it would be hilarious if future 2+2 books had paint card faces resemble Mason, Sklansky, and other authors.

It wouldn't have to be caricatures, in fact it would be nice to have 2+2 put out decks of cards with these pioneers' likenesses on the face cards, so that in a few hundred years from now, we could rest assured that they'd deservedly be the standard design. How about it?

Someone draw a Sklansky King of Clubs for starters...
