A cover's #1 job...Here's what else I know:<br /><br />A cover's #1 job is to sell books. Maybe #2 is to not make dreadful mistakes about the book's contents (a la Kilgore Trout)?<br /><br />[insert jobs #3-15 here, all about series and publisher branding/look blah blah blah etc] Job #16 is to satisfy picky authors. <br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, Ann Cain does the three jobs I know of beautifully.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495558736099438348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741443.post-66647143593125541062011-02-17T10:46:00.172-05:002011-02-17T10:46:00.172-05:00I must get used to collage covers.

I know because I studied art and this is what we have here. A MURAL. <br /><br />If you're going to have a collage cover, Ann Cain is the best, ever. My covers have rocked, always. And the colors on this are pretty. <br /><br />But still. <br /><br />I keep imagining how disturbing would it be wake up, grab your cup of coffee, drag yourself to the apartment window for your daily morning stare and weather/traffic check -- and see a misty man-torso 20 stories tall.<br /><br />Cloudy, with a chance of giant nekkid men. Huge women with tousled hair will be blocking traffic to the north. <br /><br />Literal KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495558736099438348noreply@blogger.com
