Tender is the Night, a book written by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my favorites; I have chosen to redesign the cover, create front and back matters as well as some sample spreads and three inside illustrations.

some inside spread examples with illustrations, each illustration represents a beginning of a new book or section of the novel; all book pages are printed on creamy laid paper 24lb weight.
