At last, the jacket



The hardcover dust jacket and paperback cover for Traveling with Service Animals is at last done. It's by Jennifer Fisher, one of the crackerjack design artists at the University of Illinois Press, and Chris and I think it's a handsome beast indeed.

Note that the golden retriever, perhaps the most popular dog in the United States, is looking directly at the camera, making eye contact with potential readers. Note that the colors of both dog and book title are the same, a clever bit of creative marketing.

The four international travel icons across the top are also a nice touch, and Jennifer is planning to tie them into the interior design.

Soon we'll see a few examples of that, and not long afterward the page proofs.

On August 15 the book will officially be published.
