> Dear LUGgers,

> I've written a book that wants a cover. I have an idea, but can't find the
> materials to execute it. The book is academic, to be titled *Coleridge's
> Contemplative Philosophy*. My cover idea is of an image of one hemisphere,
> inverted, on top of another, i.e. a bowl facing upward, atop a bowl facing
> downward. Here are some rough sketches I made:

> 
> My initial thought was to find two matching hemispheres, and arrange them
> as in the sketches, photographed against a white backdrop, with a clean,
> modernist, minimalist aesthetic. Two hemispheric glass bowls, or iron ones,
> or brass, or some other material. But I can find no such things, so far.
> (The concept, by the way, is of the higher, enlightened understanding
> turned upward, towards what Coleridge called reason, spirit, and ideas,
> with the lower hemisphere turned towards the things of the senses.)
> 
> Does anyone have access to such objects? If you could photograph them in a
> way suitable for a book cover, I could pay. Not a great deal, but around
> $200 is possible. The publisher might possibly be able to match that too,
> so between $200 and $400 is possible. You'd also get a hardcover copy of
> the book. My previous was published by Oxford University Press, and I'm
> hoping this one will be too.
> 
> Also, if anyone here is a graphic designer, and thinks they could nicely
> execute a graphic image, rather than a photo, developed from the idea in my
> sketches, that would be an interesting option too.

> Best wishes,
