Also, why do they feel the need to label the book "trade paperback" on the front? Just one more thing to clutter up the cover.

Picked it up though, and am looking forward to reading it this weekend. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=4878#Comment_4878 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=4878#Comment_4878 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:38:11 -0800 Mark Seifert Also, why do they feel the need to label the book "trade paperback" on the front?
We got into the habit of marking everything clearly (but relatively unobtrusively, I think) so it's obvious what a given item is when it's being handled through the distro & retail pipeline. Perhaps not always necessary in the case of trades, but that's part of where it comes from. Also, barcodes on everything coming soon, on comics too (on the back cover!), so as the industry adjusts to that perhaps that changes habits too (or perhaps not).

I really like Jacen's work on trade covers, as I think he does a great job capturing elements from the series on the cover. And of course, he's a great artist.

You should post some examples of book covers you like in this thread. I'd like to see examples of what's caught your eye recently. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=4913#Comment_4913 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=4913#Comment_4913 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:22:54 -0800 Gypsy http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5069#Comment_5069 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5069#Comment_5069 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:13:09 -0800 Allen http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5101#Comment_5101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5101#Comment_5101 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 00:07:56 -0800 morganagrom
One other small thing that maybe only I noticed but, besides telling us that it's a paperback, I noticed that you included the price on the front cover too. For some reason that stood out as odd. I don't know of any other publishers that regularly do this with their paperbacks. DC doesn't, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, IDW, AiT, Boom, Fantagraphics, Oni, Viper, First Second, Graphitti. I don't mean to rake you over the coals here, but I'm genuinely curious, was there a retailer demand to see the cover price on the front covers of paperbacks? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5148#Comment_5148 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5148#Comment_5148 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 04:42:38 -0800 Mark Seifert I noticed that you included the price on the front cover too.
Again, it's just a matter of being in the habit of being clear and obvious, as we do a lot of things that have different covers and different price points on some covers (although obviously, there's not much of that going on with trades specifically). ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5157#Comment_5157 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=5157#Comment_5157 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 05:06:21 -0800 curb that page.

Good to hear, Randy. Thank you.

As for the variant cover situation you mention, while we have always tried to be clear on the front cover, we've got something additional that might help a little starting in a few weeks (with Gravel #0, in fact). All the issue and any relevant variant info, diamond codes where possible, etc will also be laid out in a very obvious and consistent way on the back cover. Perhaps that will help.

In fact, thinking about it, there might be some other things we can do with this setup to make it even more clear. Hmm. We'll kick that around. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=7405#Comment_7405 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=7405#Comment_7405 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:11:09 -0800 Randy74 A lot of guys that get titles prefer one cover over the others.
