Then generally do very good jobs, which is nice to see - it's taken me until book three before I actually had to ask for something to be changed on the cover, and a lot of the problems with that was was because I was the only person in the world who'd read the book by that point!
Also good to see they're willing to admit when they're wrong. Certainly not everyone hated the Lies of Lock Lamora cover as much as me, but I think it did put people off in the bookshops so they swapped it for the lovely French cover for their paperback edition.
I particularly like the fact that yours looks very classy too. I'm sure Hodder Headline would have pigeon-holed the book by putting on a generic cover, but this one is stylish while still being appropriate to the genre.
Thank you;) And as I'm still working my way through the edits (yikes!) for the next few days, probably best to leave the nagging for a couple of weeks!
