Books!

Today, I got my designer's copies of joshrountree's Can't Buy Me Faded Love . . .

I will very often buy books, especially sf, if they have covers that are so beautiful I can't live without them. Space Magic just shot to the top of my list.

[darinbradley]

Sweet! My work has just done its job.

And it really is a great collection.

[livia_llewellyn]

It also makes me want to write more science fiction, since sf writers (IMO) always get the best covers. I write horror and dark fantasy, so I can only expect a lot of crudely-drawn skeletons fighting unicorns on my covers... ::shudders::

[darinbradley]

I just got back into town and read this.

You nearly made me nose-spit my coffee!

[selfavowedgeek]

Agreed. The Space Magic cover gets me with that well-placed star encapsulating the "Magic" of the title. Both of them are tops.

[darinbradley]

Thanks much, sir!

Oooh, shiney! That is nice!

[darinbradley]

You're telling me! They are wa-ay shinier in person (probably because of the gloss on the cover, but who's counting details?).

[ripperbard]

Agreed, shiny as hell. Just had a funny realization that one of these days I'm going to be going through a box at Recycled and pull one of these out, or one of these days, one of ours. In the year I've been there I've seen a book each by barthanderson and yuki_onna, as well as a trade copy and Advanced Reader Copy of Vellum. I'm always all "Hey, I know them!" and everyone else is all "Yeah whatever, go check this stack of Chri-fi against stock."

[darinbradley]

We should publish Chri-fi!

[joshrountree]

Yeah, they really do look great in person. Thanks again!

[darinbradley]

I'm just glad to put a fancy wrapper on such good writing, dude!
