Covers

[Misfit]

As long as we don't get the cover for the CD version of TGK....

[Leyland]

Definitely a beautiful cover - nice to see a book cover with a thoughtful looking, and not vaguely staring at nothing, woman who is also dressed appropriately for her station. I assume she's dressed properly - but so much better than the one on the horseback cover.

Thanks EC. There were just a lot of references to a "new" cover for the US version of The Greatest Knight, but since it was the same as the UK version I had, I was a little confused.

Also, Amazon UK has the cover up for The Running Vixen (the same picture EC posted on her blog).

I like TRV new cover very much; it's in keeping with the other EC books and she's very evocative. The old Ballantine is priceless, though. Look at that enormous swashy font!

I'm looking forward to Source's TGK and, yes, much better to follow up with the sequel before LWC.

BTW: I have a UK hc of LWC I didn't even recall I'd bought!! I found it the other day while re-adjusting some of my book crates to make room for - sigh - more books. I must have bought it during a trips to the UK but I don't recall having read it, so it must have gotten mistakenly stashed it away during one of my book shelf-emptying binges to create extra space for research material in my study (which happens far more frequently than I care to admit

Anyway, now I have it and can read it. Very fun!

It's great isn't it? The 'best' Ballantine cover is the one for Daughters of the Grail which is in pink watered silk effect with a woman in a pink night dress riding a pink horse and a quote from Bertrice Small!

Marketing meeting yesterday. Little Brown are going to completely revamp the covers for the new novel next year. Headless and half head are out and they want something that's going to blaze the way (I am cowering behind the sofa already. Seriously, I am pleased to bits, but there is trepidation too because you never know what you're going to get!

LOL re boxes of books. Mine that won't fit in the available bookshelves are all stashed in top cupboards in various built in wardrobes. So goodness knows what's at the back where my arms aren't quite long enough unless I get out the big step ladder!

I have The Last Queen next up on my TBR and looking forward to reading it.

Oh, how exciting to be a trailblazer! It will be interesting to see what their definition of it is.

OMG. It sounds divine: a drag queen of book covers!

I'll pray for you. With Photoshop readily available at every publishing house, you just never know what they'll come up with. Hopefully you won't get a mesh veil of snow or flowers dripping down over your poorly costumed and coiffed heroine's head!

Hope you enjoy!

This the one? I have this edition, as well as the new paperback. I am ashamed that I was so intense on clicking buy this on my initial Chadwick round of purchases I didn't pay attention to the selling price

Oh well, I still loved it.

Wow! Just wow!
