Pick A Cover
I’ve always believed in the power of covers. While checking out the future releases section over at Chick Lit Books, I came across this book, Goodbye, Jimmy Choo by Annie Sanders. It looks as if this was a UK release in 2004. It’s coming out here in April 2006 (a wonderful time to have a book release - that’s a hint for those who have not pre-ordered When Good Things Happen To Bad Boys).
Also looks as if Sanders’ book has had a cover change.
The one on the right is the new one. I think I prefer that one.

I like the one on the right, more shoes on it and it seems to fit the title.

hello all - yes, you’re right - the jacket was redone for the us market (i’m one of the authors, btw), so i’m glad you prefer that one! to tell you the truth, we also prefer the us version. the jacket for the german edition was different again but very striking and took a completely different tack. it seems to be pretty standard practice, as uk and us trends are quite distinct. my friend, kate harrison’s novel - the starter marriage also had a jacket redesign before it came out in the us. designing jackets seems to us to be something of a dark art but for our second novel, warning of gales, they deliberately made it very similar to the first - presumeably to help with brand recognition? the third is almost finished - don’t know what our uk publisher (orion) has in store for us this time.
