Final Cover for Orange Crush: The Neglected 1971 Houston Astros

I posted a few weeks ago with the mockup of my upcoming book about the 1971 Astros, and it seemed like everyone liked it, so I figured I'd post the final version here, which I think turned out spectacularly. I didn't think the graphic designer would be able to recreate the font of the "shooting star" jerseys as well as he did, but look how well that "Orange Crush" turned out!

Not to violate self-promotion rules, but several people expressed interest in the book for once it's available. For those folks, pre-orders have begun through Huntsville Independent Press, and will ship September 19, the day I will arrive in Houston for my promotional trip. Feel free to go check it out!

(I am not linking to the product page here as to not violate self-promotion and because for whatever reason I can't get the link to show up, but you can find it via simple web search.)
