Searching for ideas through Amazon you wouldn't believe the number of reprints there have been and the different styles of front covers. Here's a few examples:
7 Aug 1993 | ISBN-10: 1853260673 | ISBN-13: 978-1853260674 | Edition: New Ed
It has a strong David Hockney feel to it which, to my mind, brings it right up to date. I have been thinking as to how I could bring my design into the 21st century and this design does just that for me. I had thought about tractors, combines and other modern equipment but, on reflection, I can use a graphic image of the fields.
I think I can find enough material locally to emulate it. Whilst everyone immediately thinks of the Jurassic coast here, the whole area inland from Lyme Regis is farming country with West Dorset and East Devon covered with farms/fields in general and several sheep farms in particular.
Just as I've made a decision to pursue ploughed fields (too late in the year for corn to be standing) the Met Office has given out several flood warnings in the local area, 22nd November 2012. I understand that a farmer in Chideock, which is near here, planted up his field beside the A35 at the beginning of the week and found the whole field washed down the main road on Wednesday. We live in strange times at the moment, you certainly have to expect the unexpected.
