Ben, might I suggest a link (other than in this entry) the site itself somewhere on this blog? I was reading the blog today, and decided I wanted to hop to directly the archive, and I hadn’t bookmarked it, because I already had the blog bookmarked, and I figured there’s be a link to the site proper on here somewhere. I couldn’t find one.

Karen, we agree completely.
For now, the best place for additional resources is in the comments section.

It’s not the sexiest solution, but it will get the job done until we have a better method in place.

This is really exceptional, you guys. I just blogged about it — and thank you for the sidebar link, by the way.

My only suggestion would be a way to get more information about the individual covers, where available. I’m imagining a “related links” section, so that if Henry Sene Yee has done a post on the development of a given cover or, y’know, Readerville (or a number of other sources) has done a write-up, that those additional items would be collected together on the book’s page. I know I’d be happy to provide you with links and am sure others would as well.
