We are working on the cover for “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years” and are moving in several directions at once. I really liked the idea of having a black and white cover (it’s a hardcover book, so this will be a slip cover) that feels a bit more narrative. The publisher is working on comps, too, to take it in other directions, so we are wide open. I asked the illustrator if he wouldn’t mind me asking your opinion about this cover, though. The typeface will change, but the image is what I’m curious about. What is your first reaction? Would you take a second look at it if it were on a shelf in a store and so on? Thanks!
