Cover of Shut Up He Explained Talk about reader interactivity. Biblioasis will publish John Metcalf’s latest memoir, Shut Up He Explained, this fall. And a reader of the Windsor publisher’s blog has designed the book’s cover.

It all began when Biblioasis posted some of its own early designs on its blog and asked for reader feedback. One reader, Brenda Schmidt, went one better and up and designed a cover herself, and Biblioasis owner Dan Wells liked it so much that he’s decided to go with it.

The total cost? Wells says Schmidt asked for only $8 and a one-year subscription to the Biblioasis-owned literary journal Canadian Notes & Queries.

Whoee. If this is better than their intended version these guys are in need of a Debbie Travis make over. Not that Metcalf should be troubled by any of this. We’ve all seen those Porcupine’s Quill covers.

Reminds me of that old Liona Boyd cover that Stoddart released.

Flavius, I take it by your name you are of the latin persuasion. So to you thus: sic erat in fatis.
Flavius Treleaven

Sic friatur crustum dulce.
