I hope you enjoy them. There will be one final groups in a few(ish) days.
As promised in my last post, here are the first ten books and CD covers. As you will see, some of the photos and titles matched up surprisingly well.
I currently have 65 pages of 40 photos each stored at Photobucket. You selected the page number and I chose the first appropriate image on that page (vertical/portrait for the book cover or horizontal/landscape for the CD). Book and CD titles were inspired by the last several words of a random quote taken from the Quotations Page. Each of those pages has 10 options and I also chose the quote which corresponded to the number you gave me. If you selected 23, then the fifth random quote on the page contained your title (2 + 3 = 5). The full quotation follows each cover below. CD artist names came from the first random Wikipedia page title and author names were generated by Behind the Name.
Presented below, in the same order as your comments, are our new authors and artists.
