An interesting cover, that would make me turn the book over to read the back (rather than to open it to read a snippet), where the read or not to read decision would be made.
Thanks, Kate. We tried several traditional designs and nothing really worked for us. So I went to see what an old book, from this period, would look like and found this background. I showed Glyn and he approved. So off we went. I couldn't find a cover artist who would do what we wanted, so my web designer did it for us! Just proves that we should push forward until we find what we want and a person who will do the job as requested.
When the road ahead is unclear, sometimes you have to rely on trust.

ReplyDeleteAndy, of course the back is fab! You would want to read this book. I promise!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I view it?
ReplyDeleteClick the link above. It is on the web page too.
ReplyDeleteA friend sent this comment, but didn't make it on the blog. I love it and i'm sure you will too,
ReplyDelete'I really like the minimalist look- at first it might be from a govt archive but obvious it's fiction- clever and witty launch coming soon!'
Now it has a life of its own. It suits the era of the book. Nicely done. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Glynis!
ReplyDeleteIt does look good - a nice change from the flashy stuff with embossed covers and gold lettering and ... and... you know.
ReplyDeletethis cover makes the book stand out from the usual fancy designs - I'd certainly stop and take a look at this one!
