Nice Things Said Re: EWN

  • "Dan Wickett is serious about a good read. But the EWN email list doesn't just deliver his sure-footed reviews; it also brings you news and connections to other writers. Sign up now - he understands what readers want to know about books." Quinn Dalton, author, Bulletproof Girl

    "Mr. Wickett is that rarely heard from but best of all possible reviewers - the dedicated and knowledgeable fan. He writes clean-cutting and fresh reviews that represent a sensibility unspoiled by over-exposure to the biz of books, but deeply in love with them." Daniel Woodrell, author, Winter's Bone

    "Dan Wickett is a reader's best friend. Not only does he read and trenchantly review new work, but he looks back to books that deserve ongoing readership. I've lost track of the number of times he's led me to boks that I overlooked (or never knew about), and that were a delight. There aren't many reviewers I will let shape my library, but Dan Wickett is one." Erin McGraw, author, The Baby Tree

    Great Book Design

    Many of you may remember one of the Litblog Co-op Read This! titles, Firmin by Sam Savage.  It is coming out in paperback (December 30) Firmin and I can't believe how much I love the book design.  The book, told from the perspective of a rat that lives in a bookstore, has a huge bite mark out of the right hand side of it - all the way from front to back cover.  It also has rat illustrations strewn throughout by Fernando Krahn.  The folks at Delta Fiction have done a stellar job with this one, and the book is only going to be $12.00.

    I really like the Book Design that are attempting to look like anything but book covers...it is an interesting idea to skew type, or have type integrated into the cover images.
