author avatars

[_grayswandir_]

First post! *waves* These icons are all author-related rather than book-related, but I think they still qualify for the community. :) Each icon has the author's signature, and most of them have the authors' handwriting (or at least pen-marks -- thanks, Vonnegut :P) on them. Details about the text are behind the cut.
