At the same time, other parts of the book are moving forward. Discussions of how the book should look, what the cover might potentially be--fun stuff like that. Things I can't really talk about here, but I thought you'd like to know it was happening, nonetheless. And with that in mind, here's a chance for you to offer some feedback. Any of you readers out there have any books you can think of that really impressed you, from a design standpoint? (Cover layout, interior layout, etc.) It actually looks like I'll have a chance to give some suggestions on this point of the process--something which authors don't often get, and which I'm very excited about. (Yay for smaller presses who pay attention to new authors!)
Anyway--I'm trying to think of sample books that have stood out to me, but I thought I'd throw this open to the masses to see if any of you had ideas. Please share!

I really liked the look/design of The Goose Girl (that you and DKC gave me, of course). I remember the texture of the cover being nice, and I thiiiink I remember liking the font it used.
Interior font, I mean. Don't remember the exterior. But I could check it when I get home. :-)
Jackets matter so much to me when I'm trying a new author -- how dumb is that?! Three series that will always stick out to me -- chronicles of prydain (esp Book of Three cover with Horned King rearing his horse), dark is rising series, and of course wheel of time. Get a great cover image with imaginative, detailed artwork...
Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
