Hey guys, I'm really thrilled with the feedback on the book so far. I have to say, this email I received in December has been in the back of my mind, so the positive feedback is very heartening:

Hi Folks, I do not normally do this, but I just saw what you are proposing as
the covers for this book.

I am very disappointed. It will devalue the book, it literally looks
like pavement pizza, I'm going to cry, I buy these books because they
are usually works of art, but this ...

Can you go back to the black cover with the red writing, anything
would be better than what you have on the website. I can't believe it,
I am in shock. Blech!

Heartbroken

Glad you like it Brad. I know we're all really happy with how it came out. I know I'm happy to have one sitting on my self at home.

Hard to say what that will do to the resale value... You never know...

Just received my copy #17 today and I gotta say it's the most beautiful looking LRB book to date IMO! Absolutely gorgeous, thanks Brian and CD.

Thanks! I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

WOW!!! I just received my copy of The Strain and it is absolutely outstanding!! A beautiful volume from the slipcase clean through to the last page. LRB has done it again! Bravo and a huge thank you to all involved!! I would encourage anyone who missed it to track one down. Based on this first volume, I think the trilogy is going to be one of the highlights of any library.

Thanks, Brad! I'm really pleased with how the book turned out.
