Published three books recently. Two of them - paid for a cover design and they were great. I ran out of money for the third book and reluctantly turned to AI. This is the cover. It's a 77 page thriller. I would love a human designed cover, but I have no aristic talent and no budget. Any suggestions?

Being deceased is a poor excuse.

5. Everyone else

Yesterday, our conservator Mary was assessing the condition of a piece from our Original Collection using a light box, when she discovered an image hiding in plain sight… What do you see? #SpaldingGentlemensSociety #BehindTheScenes #HiddenHistory #MuseumMagic

This image shows what looks like a watermark of a fighting knight and lion, with the hidden design revealed in the paper by a light box. Watermarks were a useful identifying stamp, signature or image traditionally used by paper manufacturing companies.

She was indeed 20 in 1972 and Care Home residents tend to have been socialised in the glorious 1960s Just for clarity: the precise quote is made up, but may well be true in spirit?
