My understanding of visual arts is that it's all about how to draw the eye to certain parts of the picture.

It doesn't seem to show an up or down or those things I associate with gravity.

But they're just novelettes/novellas in the trilogy, not full-length books. I wanted to keep the prices close to the individual ones.<br /><br />Matthew - It's the spaceship's wing.
