Eugene, there may some confusion between the Goa Book Club (likely still
resides and meets in Goa to discuss books), the Goa Book Club Mailing
List (which is followed by lovers of writing and books about Goa) and
GoaBook.Club (which seems to be a URL and trade name associated with
Goa1556). I too am confused.
Let me say this humorously: You may have to show your Indian Writers
Union Card to be included in Part II...If its a book supported by a
government grant, you may have to additionally show some appropriate ID
to prove you national identity...And further, you may have to show
income statements to prove you are a writer who has made it!
Maybe now is the time for an Autobiography. You, arguably, have lived
ten lives when compared to most Goans. I'd buy a copy...

Augusto, I noticed the cover-designer /illustrator is mentioned on the
cover. The back cover.
If the work is an illustrated book, rather that one that just contains
spot illustrations or illustrated chapter titles, it yes would be more
appropriate to give credit on the front cover. (I don't know if this
applies, I don't have a copy on the text pages)
I would suggest in a heavily illustrated work, like some children's
books, the illustrators is a co-creator and would have full credit
equivalent to the author.
In end though, most busy designers don't usually care. A paid Invoice is
what counts. And a final copy and working sketches in a portfolio of
current work is worth far more than a credit on a cover when chasing
additional work.

Goa Book Club was part of it... seems the "owner" or administrator took
upon himself to make GBC a shareholder in the project without asking
other members.
