It’s interesting to hear the reasoning behind not buying this book sooner. You always hear how the cover can be such an important hook. I wonder if Lane Smith designed the cover or if it was an in-house designer at Penguin.
Andy,
Ya, I guess I’m likely in the minority about the cover. The book has been a massively huge success and, based on the past work of Lane and Jon alone I should have bought it. Maybe the fact that both my degrees are in Math and that I work in high tech gives me that pavlovian reflex to not pick up anything that looks slightly textbookish.
I’m so glad I did finally buy it because it is So SO SO good and such a huge hit with the family.
Incidentally, the look of the cover matters even less now that the book has been trucked back & forth to so many different locations by our addicted-to-it daughters — it’s bent and water ruffled and looking very very loved!
