Robbie-my-editor has sent me an initial copy of Ingledove. Renato Alarcao's jacket is dramatic and lovely, with the subtle musical staff and notes in the air and the deep blues lit where Ingledove's hand reaches into the water. The title on cover and jacket is pleasantly watery--that's to Robbie's credit, I believe. The Diana Wynne Jones blurb is big and satisfying! And the cover is divided between a deep blue paper that wraps the spine and extends onto the boards and a paler blue flecked with blue and charcoal fibers. I'm so glad there's a frontispiece on this one. Renato has a flair for drama in image and light, so the additional picture is enticing...
Beautiful book. Good reviews so far, so far as I know. What next?

Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.
