True a lot of people may not know Elmore's name or associate it to his work
when they see it but, the same amount (if not more) do. I for one know
imeadately who he is. I suppose it might have something to do with my 18
years playing D&D and nostalgia...anyway. If your target demographic
includes veteran (venerable?) gamers then having Elmore or others (who have
been in the biz ) on the cover certainly would be a good visual hook to get
said gamers to pick it up and at least thumb through it.
