Oooh, Shiny Book Cover

Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual front cover

I swear I’m not turning Ducksnorts into a photo blog, but I’m pretty psyched about this because it means I can almost see light at the end of the tunnel.

When will the book be done? Well, when it’s done. I’m shooting for the first or second week of February. I think this is realistic and not just me being blindly optimistic the way I was that, say, Sean Burroughs could learn to hit a baseball with authority.

On a related note, I’m planning to run an excerpt tomorrow and I’d love your input. Our choices are “2007 in Review” and “Driving to Cooperstown.” Both are very much in progress, but some parts are fit for human consumption. Please let me know which you prefer, and then continue talking about Jim Edmonds or whatever…

  1. GY, nice looking cover. I know you are not looking for suggestions, but… The sub-title seems a bit forced. I ran several versions through my mind but none seem to work, so maybe it is OK after all.

    Also, I would make the sub-title box background a light blue, maybe the same color as the light blue text and then the text the same color as the main cover page.

    But, it is your book and you are a stud for doing it. BTW, I loved the 2007 edition.
