Cover Proofs Arrive!

  • Feb. 7th, 2008 at 12:55 AM

I woke up this morning and thought, man oh man, but I better get a post up for my wonderful bloggy friends.

And then there was a small thud at my front door.

Mr. UPS Man was leaving behind a package from Random House.

My cover proofs!

I wrapped one around a Delacorte Press book (Bras and Broomsticks by Sarah Mlynowski).



This is the incredibly adorable shiny front. Excuse the glare which is due to my mediocre photography. I haven't even managed to get the color right.



And this is the incredibly adorable shiny back. Blah, blah, blah with my pitiful photography.



Inside front flap... This is the color closest to the real McCoy.



Inside back flap...

Unfolded, the cover measures approximately 8.5" X 19.5". DH (Darling Husband--a handy engineer) figured out that it would take roughly 668 dust jackets to wallpaper our living room. This includes covering doors and windows. Of course.

I kind of feel like I'm back at the hospital, looking at all the newborns and feeling sorry for the other parents because my baby is by far the cutest.

Let's face it. THIS IS ONE CUTE COVER!

A wonderful Thursday to all.

p.s. Mr. UPS Man--I'm a little bit in love with you. Even though I've never seen you because you knock on my door, hot-potato-drop the package and scurry off. But you are my Official Bearer of Exciting Publishing Stuff.

I'm probably going to the San Diego SCBWI meeting on Saturday cuz it's about writing humorous chapter books. My humorous chapter book series comes out in June, but I still kind of don't know what I'm doing. Interested in going? It would be fun to meet up.

You are very funny! I love how you and D.H. actually did the math to figure out how many covers you need to wallpaper the place. Yes, it is a cute cover. But if you really loved it, you would also use it to cover the floors. (Under a clear but protective seal, of course.) :)
Congrats.
