That cover looks fantastic, I really like it. The combination of the script with the simple illustration is just perfect, I love how the line weight and contrast matches. Small detail, but I really like the serif you've used for the author name too.
@Claire Coullon Thank you so much for your nice words. The typeface I used for author name is called »Premiéra« by Thomas Gabriel. It’s my preferred copy face and I’ll even use it to set the poems. It’s worth to take a look at the specimen booklet of »Premiéra«! You find it here:

@Arno Kathollnig, my apologies for the joke at your expense! Just couldn't get that pun from one of the James Bond movies that came to my head when I saw your phrase choice & wonderful typography. Forgive me! :D

@Neil Tasker @Nick Slater @Nikita Prokhorov @Jake Page @Claire Coullon Thank you so much! I’m testing a the impact of a script face, »Blanchard« by Canada Type«, which I will use for a cover of a book with poems about wine. Here is a sneak peek of a first draft: http://www.typoatelier.com/drib/twcover.pdf
Curious to read your comment!
