Behind-The-Books Blog
I have been outed.
Friday, May 15th, 2009
So, just when I thought I could continue to pootle along undetected, generally keeping a low profile and letting our readers believe that the A&B office is staffed by only five people, along comes my colleague Louise who blows my cover by mentioning me in her entry about Lord of Misrule – thanks, Louise!!! Just kidding, thanks for the praise and hope our readers out there enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed devising its look.
I work part-time at A&B and am responsible for designing our book covers, which basically means I spend an awful lot of time going google-eyed looking at picture library thumbnails, and the rest obsessing about typefaces. I am also a photographer and idle a good few hours a day away on Flickr, hence the lack of blogging time…
But enough excuses. I promise I will make myself heard more frequently, especially now that my rubbish team Arsenal have been ejected from all competitions and there is a football-shaped hole in my life. That, in itself, could be the subject of a very lenghty blog – mercifully for you I work for a Chelsea boss and have half a dozen unfinished jackets on my desk, so I’ll say goodbye for now.
Till next time.
Christina Griffiths, Art Editor
Whoops, sorry for blowing your cover, Christina!! 
You can pour all that heartbreak and sorrow into a creative channel!

Well, Ms Griffiths, the real worry today is that your gangsta rapper Adebayour might find himself at the Bridge … please, no, anyone but him
