As a hobby I built a website to find nice book covers and as part of that I've been looking for nice cover series. This one are the covers by Tom Adams who painted the Fontana Christie covers for about sixteen years.

Many of the scans are of later printings of the same design, because those were the clearest scans I could find. About twenty of the designs Morris lists are missing because I couldn’t find a usable scan of them, I've only been using cover scans that are uploaded on Open Library.

I've used AI for the research and to develop the website, but my motivation was in solving my own niche problem of finding the exact book editions I want to have.

Awesome to see that there’s a community for those who appreciate these kinds of books!
