Thundering good

[anteros_lmc]

It's way too late to start posting pics of all my new CSFs but I just had to share this before turning in. I'm sure some of you will have seen this before but I'm still rendered speechless by it!

Back cover image from the Pan Books' 1959 edition of Lieutenant Hornblower. And the blurb reads in lovely san serif font: BATTLE, SWEAT AND GLORY IN NELSON'S DAY! H.M.S Renown thrashes across the Atlantic on a secret mission - with a mad captain, a hesitant first lieutenant - and the audacious HORNBLOWER impatient to engage the enemy. A full blooded and exciting episode in the career of C.S. Forester's immortal character. 'Superbly adventurous - thundering good' London Evening News

Wow, that's pretty! And I love the description -- I love how HORNBLOWER is in all caps. :)

Isn't he divine? And just _wait_ till you see the colour pic on the front cover ;)

PS Gratuitous use of Kennedy icon because I feel like I'm neglecting him. Three consecutive posts without a mention Archie. Tsk!

Nothing wrong with that! Ah, if only he had been in the books ... I always feel slightly guilty and treasonous when I end up liking a character better who wasn't in the original books (with any series), than the ones the author invented in full. Oh well.

Who couldn't love a 'thrashing' Renown. XD
