Wednesday Cover Story: A page of book covers…

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Anna Jacobs, author of Cherry Tree Lane – the first book in her Wiltshire Girls series – has just launched her new website. Amongst the features on the website is a page simply displaying all and only her book covers -  a most colourful array of book covers I might add.

Check out Anna Jacobs book cover page here.  And see if you can spot Cherry Tree Lane amongst them all…

Ok, I might be biased, but I do think it stands out from the crowd. Whilst still featuring a woman on the cover it has a decidely more modern design compared to the rest. Would you agree?
Of the others, I am drawn to Licence to Dream and In Focus which again have a more modern look.

It’s a nice idea showcasing all of one’s book covers like this. Not only does it create a visual sense of achievement and allow for an interesting comparison of different designs, but looking at this beautiful page brings to mind the fact that whilst you can buy plenty of posters of enlarged book jackets, what about a poster made up of hundreds of book cover thumbnails? I’d happily hang it on my wall!

(Oh, darn it – have I just given away a great little business idea…?)

    Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
