(Cont'd)

The designer sent Eric a copy of how the writing would look on the title page and explained the changes that were going to be made. The title page has information about who wrote the book, who illustrated it and who published it.

An early rough sketch of the title page shows that the title of the book changed.

The title here says "Zoom Downstream", instead of its real title, "Zoom Upstream". In a meeting between the author, illustrator and editor, it was decided that "up" sounded livelier.

And of course, Eric (Ken) also drew a picture for the end of the book, called the endpiece. As a joke, Eric called it the "tailpiece".
