Tell me you love it. Because I think it's the best-looking thing in the universe. I love the spare, dramatic design. I love the origami bird, reminding me of one Brooke did when she was at my house writing her dissertation. Orange is my favorite color. This exterior design harmonizes wonderfully with the interior design of the book (which I also l.o.v.e).
The designers produced what felt like hundreds of covers. Some of them I liked and the McGraw folks didn't. Some they liked and I didn't. I feel extremely fortunate that this is the final version (though it may yet be tweaked a bit), because when I saw this, I threatened—and I'll quote here—to "throw myself on the floor and hold my breath and turn blue and pass out" (I really did put that in an email) till they said "yes." (I think a measured, mature approach to collaborative decisions is always best, don't you?) I just. can't. wait to see this design on the cover of an actual, physical, printed, published, material book. Oh, and have I mentioned how proud I am of this book and how excited I am that it's publishing anon?

Seriously, it's a nice one!
It's beautiful in its simplicity. When can we order examination copies?
Thanks, everybody! If you're wanting exam copies/adoption, check with your McGraw-Hill rep about availability. But it won't be too much longer!
That is an awesome cover! So how soon is "anon"?
Ask me again in a couple of months, and I should be able to answer. Right now it's an as-yet-not-quite-known.
Thats beautiful! I'll BUY a few!
