I went to a nearby used bookstore this past week in search of regency covers to inspire a small pencil sketch to use on my website.  And I have to say, regency covers rock!

I could be biased (I love regencies), but of all the books there, regencies had the most colorful, engaging and interesting looks.  With so many books lined up row upon row, it reminded me of kneeling by the Christmas tree and fingering a multitude of richly wrapped presents.

I found some of the elements I was searching for.  One with lamp posts in the backgound, one with a coachman with a top hat and carriage coat, his back to the viewer, one of a winter outdoor scene.  And so many handsome regency bucks to choose from.

All that said, some of the details of the covers were not "quite" accurately regency.  And way too many of those Hessian boots looked like Wellingtons or plain black rubber boots.

Still, I'm enjoying this process more than I thought I would.  Hope the end product lives up to my expectations.  Ah well, like anything in life, only time will tell.
