Adding a MobileRead logo seems like a good idea. Is there a high-quality version around that we can use?

* www.abebooks.com is a good place to look, by restricting the search to books with bookseller supplied photos.
there is a pdf (*gasp* !!) attached to the first post in the "meetups how-to" thread, specifically for making signs so members can find each other. it's of course ginormous for this use, but it is a vector format and could really easily be scaled down.

lovely covers, Paul.
