Using the original art, I was asked by NESFA Press to update the dust jacket for this Zenna Henderson book. Henderson was an early SF writer and considered "pre-feminist" and The People, the best-known creations of the late SF writer Henderson, are humanoid refugees who have landed in 19th-century America after the destruction of their own planet. Their innate abilities include telepathy, levitation and other "magic" talents which help them survive, yet mark them as different. In 1972 William Shatner starred in the TV movie, "The People" which was executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola. 

For this update, I chose to use Gothic 821 BT typeface which I felt would give it bold look while also nodding to the pulp fiction aspect of Henderson's work. For the sleeves I choose to utilize Proxima Nova for the body text, keeping the white background and using Black lettering for ease of reading.
