The publisher commissioned a designer and I was consulted when the it was too late to change it. If I sound a little miffed, I assure you I'm not. I had various ideas of what I thought I might like, but the publisher had her eye on what might appeal to readers and bookshops. As I've said before, there's no point in the publisher trying to 'sell' the book to me! Bookshops, readers, <B>YOU,</B> are the people who matter from now on.Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326835832552443337.post-91440300799268575592009-05-01T00:54:00.000-07:002009-05-01T00:54:00.000-07:00Hi Dev - sadly the lack of respect seems to be gro...Hi Dev - sadly the lack of respect seems to be growing everywhere in our society. Not only teachers, but police, doctors, etc - no one seems to have much respect for anyone these days. Only money is valued. It's a sad state of affairs.<br /><br />Thanks for your support, Dev.
