This is a cruddy photo of what the book looks like with its little jacket on and all. Without the jacket, it’s the same as the print on demand version– images of the Matchwoods in day (front) and night (back). I’m very happy with the cover design, and pleased that I came up with something that no publisher would probably ever have let me do.
The wordless cover bothers people at conventions, though, so I made the jacket to have a title, blurbs, and flashier images. I guess I will see if it works this weekend at TCAF.
Very proud of these things. The preorders are going out the door as quickly as I can draw in them and pack them up, which is not very quickly. I’m very happy about how well these are doing already, and about how much more sustainable this will be than having them printed on demand. I am a serious-business self publisher now and it will be a little easier to pay my rent.
If you don’t follow me elsewhere on the internet, perhaps you are not aware that I just put up a new short story.
