I have a hardcover!

... and one of these days, I will have a digital camera. Even if I'm allergic to cameras.

But I have author's copies of Hidden City in my hall. I have stubbed my toes 4 times on the boxes, which is proof that they're real, the other proof being papercuts. Don't ask.

I expected them to come much later, because they're shipped from Penguin Canada now (for Canadian authors, which does save money), but I think they're shipped directly to the warehouse which just does a straight passthrough.

But it doesn't matter why they're here early -- and I am staring at the book sitting beside my computer like an adolescent in the first throes of love.

ETA: No, I am not actually reading any of it, because it hasn't been long enough since I looked at the galleys. I'm just ... staring at Jody's art & the overall design.

The cover is just so very, very beautiful. Mostly, it's beside the computer so I can look at the cover.

any chance of you getting permission of posting another scan? Like you did with the ... I think it was the second.. Cast-in cover? *envy*

I don't generally ask permission to post covers, which may be very wrong of me -- I consider them the ultimate marketing tool, and a marketing tool isn't very useful if it's publicly invisible.

I do ask permission to post the -art- without the design elements and type, though -- because the art is owned by the artist; it's an element of what will be said marketing tool, but only an element.

That, and I have to send my husband to work with the various things because I don't own a scanner.

Oh! Fair enough, I'll just salivate over the Amazon preview then XD
