Paperback


Here it is at last - the paperback cover design for The Birds, the Bees and Other Secrets. I've waited a long time for this (the hardback came out in August 2008, and the paperback isn't due out until May 7th.) but I think it's lovely. I just hope the punters (not to mention hard-to-please W H Smiths) like it too!

  1. Thanks, Tim. I actually preferred the original proposed cover - it was cleaner and simpler. But this is a good second best.

  3. Yes, i agree with Akasha, it would make me pick it up too. What was the original like?

  4. Thanks so much, Akasha and Alis. The original was very similar to the hardback, but as I said in a previous post, W H Smiths didn't like it. That was why it didn't come out in November, as originally scheduled.

  5. Great cover. I really like it. What bookseller (or buyer) could resist it?

  6. Looking good, Frances. Smiths should be fine with this. Very surprised if they're not pleased with how it's turned out!
