AG, that makes me want to roll around in a big pile of chopped red onion -- awesome!! But...I hope Lolita will make an appearance, maybe on the flap of the dustjacket? ;P
as an ex-bookseller, i have to tell you: that is a GREAT COVER. that will sell like hotcakes out of the food section. especially if it has a recipe for hotcakes. but even if it doesn't, that cover is made for a display rack. nice!
Adam, please tell your agent to get you into the National Book Festival in DC this year...so I can shake your hand after you sign my copy!!! Of course, I'd go to any bookstore in DC if you were making an appearance, it's just that I think the NBF would be a fabulous venue for you.
This is clearly the icing on the cake, Adam! Your book looks ravishing and I agree, it is an eye-catcher. I've been bragging to my brother about your success and I'm gonna get this for his birthday. Will you autograph the pre-orders?

why are you dressed like a chef?
Posted by Lou | April 9, 2007 8:05 PM
What a beautiful cover! Now I'm totally psyched too! I can't wait to read it :)

That is really cool looking. I like the subtitle. Clever.
Will you be doing a book-signing in NY in June? I'm hoping so as I'll be there the third week.

The cover looks great and the subtitle of the book is hilarious. Congrats Adam! I am pre-ordering my copy right now!

I think you are more of a great story teller than a chef. I think the subtitle is misleading.

how very exciting!

Adam, can't wait for the book. Congrats!

Congratulations, Adam! It must all feel so REAL now!

Congrats, Adam. You've worked hard and it has come to fruition. If you do a book signing in Chicago or Indy I'm totally there.

Kudos AG! I'll definitely be getting a copy or twelve...

The cover is awesome. If you had posted it on April 1st, I would have thought it was a joke. That's a compliment.

Congrats on the book. One question: why isn't your picture on the cover? They should be able to subsitute your mug for the doll's face.

Great looking cover! One thing though. I am a proofreader, and web site is actually two words.
