The long dog days of summer are over! We spent much of the spring and summer working on Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days from the cover to the interior and then the intense marketing campagin. Finally we get to relax and celebrate our hard work. That is until book five . . .
But today is for celebrating. I have been on a train since 6 am headed to my college town of Providence, Rhode Island for Jeff's first signing at the Providence Place Mall ( which was just being built when I was a sophmore) today starting at 11am. We are expecting up to 4,000 people. It's going to be a long day. I'll be sure to post pictures ASAP.
Hope everyone enjoys the book.

Our goal was to modernize, simplify and still remain faithful to our history.
Here is the final and new ABRAMS logo I worked up.
In addition to a refreshed and modern design, our website has many new features including an improved search engine, navigation by subject and enhanced product pages that include image galleries, “look inside” previews and social bookmarks. Social bookmarks on each product page will enable viewers to easily share our titles with friends on Facebook.com, Digg.com, Stumbleupon.com, Myspace.com, Delicious.com, and Google.com. This will be a great way for our books to be marketed virtually. The new website also has an area to spotlight featured authors, an events calendar, an integrated newsletter system and the ability to create discounts and coupon codes for marketing and sales campaigns.
I hope you’ll take some time to explore the new site and forward the link to all of your contacts and friends:

After months of development and many font choices later ( AT Burin, Sackers, Sans, Neutra and Garamond to name a few) from fellow Art Directors Galen, Michelle and myself, I am pleased to announce the launch of our new and improved ABRAMS logo and website: www.abramsbooks.com
ABRAMS
Founded by Harry N. Abrams in 1949, ABRAMS was the first company in the United States to specialize in the creation and distribution of art and illustrated books. Now a subsidiary of La Martinière Groupe, the company publishes visually stunning illustrated books in the areas of art, photography, cooking, interior and garden design, craft, architecture, entertainment, fashion, sports, pop culture, as well as children’s books and general interest titles. The company’s imprints include Abrams, Abrams ComicArts, Abrams Image, Abrams Books for Young Readers, Amulet Books, Stewart, Tabori & Chang, and STC Craft/A Melanie Falick Book.

I think I saw a sign that he would be in Beaverton, OR on Oct 19th for his book signing... :)
congrats!!! :D
Well done! One of the fifth graders in my school read his copy straight through--took him 1 hour and 45 minutes. He LOVED it!
congrats, Mr. Beckerman!
