Cherrywood The book cover for Cherrywood by Jock Serong has two quotes on it 'Sublime and haunting' Toni Jordan and 'Beautiful' Tim Rogers. The background of the image is beautifully fitted together, rounded off pieces of wood (like an edging of a frame or box). They are glowing slightly red with deep grain throughout. There's part of a barometer showing at the top with the needle just below change, on the way to fair. In the centre there's another dial (? nautical image - might be a compass / doesn't look like one), with part of a watch face peaking out on the right.
