Do You See What I See?

Sung to the tune of “Do You Hear What I Hear”–just because this Jew is still grooving on the Christmas tunes. You may need to sing some of the lines a little fast to make it fit.

Said the writer to the bloggers who helped her work on the book
Do you see what I see?
Just down this post a bit, blog readers,
Do you see what I see?
A cover, a cover, for the front of the book
It is worth a good long look
It is worth a good long look

Um…you’ll need to click on the image to enlarge it and take a closer look in order to fully appreciate the cover.

I have also set up a website specifically for the book–called The Land of If–where I can upload information and there is even a place to purchase it, hint hint. I’ll place a link to it in the header navigation bar.

On that hint, hint–um…you know…you could purchase the book ahead of time. I mean, if you were going to buy it anyway. I’m not sure how presales work at all, but wouldn’t it be cool if the book sold out before it even hit the shelves? It would probably make people realize that infertility is more wide-spread than they think (or that I have a small book run?).

So that’s the cover and that’s the book site. And now I can go back to dancing under the mistletoe and waiting for someone to kiss me.

I LOVE the cover. I know you said you had to give up some creative control over the cover design, but did you have any input at all on the concept? It’s brilliant.

Congratulations!

I just friended you on facebook, even though by doing so I’m probably outing myself as infertile….

Congratulations!! I sure do wish that I would have had a book and a support system 10 years ago when I was struggling with infertility. It was so taboo then!!

How exciting. Congratulations! That cover is amazing. You need to submit that cover to the Strange Maps blog – http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/

I’m also curious to know how much input you had on that design.

47 MsPrufrock { 12.04.08 at 8:44 am }

Well, will you look at that! I have a tendency to be drawn to books because of their covers (it’s the art history major in me), and I would completely be interested in that before I even saw the title.

Wonderful and amazing. Many ongratulations!

48 areyoukiddingme { 12.04.08 at 8:47 am }

Ni-i-i-ice. And affordable too!
