1. Please note that we do indeed need to list all fifteen authors on the front cover.
    – sometimes i wonder if this is all some sick joke.

  2. Any chance I could get a version with the writing in red? Do you think it would work? Authors had suggested writing in blood, but red might be a good compromise.
    – thank god we’re willing to compromise on the use of actual blood.

  4. I think in this case it was the nature of the dingbat.
    – still caught up with the dingbat.

  5. This is lovely, but we’re a little worried that this pastel shade of blue and the dingbat aren’t serious enough for a book of this nature.
    – someone clearly doesn’t take dingbats seriously enough.

  6. Announcing Exciting changes to Supplemental Life and Voluntary Accidental Death and Dismemberment Coverage
    – not art direction, but the subject line of an office-wide email and proof that the words “exciting” and “dismemberment” can, in fact, appear in the same sentence.

  7. The art arrived this morning! I just put everything on the cover system and am on my way out the door for a vacation…so here’s hoping that there nothing wrong with the art…
    – very sneaky …

  8. The author doesn’t have any color or font preferences for his cover. As I mentioned before in my cover system notes, he would like the subtitle to not be too large/obtrusive because the words “white supremacy” are in it.
    – somehow the fact that this product is potentially racist slipped through the cracks until it was handed over to me.

  9. The author likes the layout a lot; he’d like to see a different font used for the title, subtitle, and his name though.
    – this is a very diplomatic way of telling me that the author did not, in fact, like anything about the layout.
