Yeah, you just took a photo of a real book there, Egg. You can't fool me, I know the difference between a Koala and a Drop Bear.
Excellent job.

You've caught me out Chris! Here's my original source and my latest version with a drop Bear

from Grisham to Coleridge to Milligan nice one Mr B... and the dropbear is cute

I see a lot of effort and a good sense of imagination here! Thanks for participating!
Only one observation. You wouldn't use a drop-shadow on a surface that is off-axis and curved in three dimensions. The Shadow tool in Xara doesn't cut it. I'd say pose and light a book just to get the sense of the potential
shadow.
I think it's obvious your could out-do my attempt here
My Best,
Gary
Cheers peeps.
The Drop Bear is not all mine, I used an illustration from the content catolgue "Koala" and just 'meaned' him up.
No use of Xara's drop shadow here Gary.
No room for Roger McGough unfortunately HD.

sadly no... or that other Liverpool Poet: Brian Patten: 'Gargling with Jelly' might have gone down well after Spike... so to speak...

@hd - I've just sent for a second-hand copy of that Brian Patten Poetry book. It's illustrated by Chris Riddell which is a great bonus.
I seem to be rediscovering the joy of poetry lately. If you're ever down Whitefriargate (Hull) there's a cafe/record/bookshop called Wrecking Ball which has good selection of poetry publications (and a decent coffee): https://wreckingballstore.co.uk/prod...rature/poetry/
