“When people do beautiful books, they’re noticed more,” Robert S. Miller, the publisher of Workman Publishing, tells the New York Times. “It’s like sending a thank-you note written on nice paper when we’re in an era of e-mail correspondence.” (via Peter Sokolowski)
I think I’ve gotten a pretty beautiful cover.
Yeah, I think your latest book cover gets a reader’s attention.
It’s probably a good thing publishers are making hard-copy books better quality. Hopefully that will extend to the binding, too – it really bugs me when the pages start FALLING OUT of a not-year-old hardcover. Inexcusable.
