January 22, 2009The Jacket on the Girl in the Orange DressYou can't judge a book by its cover, but sometimes you can judge the cover. The forthcoming book The Girl in the Orange Dress needed a jacket design appropriate to both its contents and its audience. We found ourselves with two great cover options, so we asked you to vote. You can read the full details here. While the contest was heated, with four hundred people voting and contacting us to elaborate on their vote, ultimately one cover clearly dominated. So feast your eyes on the winning cover here; in a few months you'll be able to feast your eyes on the whole book. By the way, we haven't forgotten that we promised a free copy of the book to five random responders. The winners will be announced in a forthcoming Likewise Notebook, an occasional e-mailed update on the goings and doings of Likewise Books by InterVarsity Press, and at the Likewise Facebook group. Good luck! May the orange dress be with you. Posted by Dave Zimmerman

Hooray! The right cover won! Good job with the contest. Comment by: Jon Boyd at January 22, 2009 4:38 PMI wanted to vote, but Ontario was not accepted as a worthy address. I was strongly in favor of the empty dress. It aroused more curiosity. I get so many begging letters illustrated with pathetic or very cute children, some of which turn out to be fraudulent, I'm no longer moved without a good deal more knowledge. Comment by: Dorothy Pape at January 23, 2009 9:38 AMI was privileged enough to read Margot's fantastic book before it went through the editing phase, and I'm so thrilled to see it in the final stages of publication! I especially wanted to tell y'all that that Lauren Winner endorsement is about the sweetest thing to ever happen to a memoir (in case you didn't already know :-P ). I know so many people I could get to buy the book based on Lauren's quote alone! I'm excited to see Orange Dress on the shelf next to Girl Meets God real soon. ;o) Comment by: Ashleigh at January 26, 2009 4:57 AMComments are closed for this entry. |
