The Arrival of a Finished Copy

Two evenings ago, the doorbell rang around 7:00 pm, and a lovely package from Amulet Books/ABRAMS was sitting on my front porch: a finished copy of In the Shadow of Blackbirds.

Here are some photos of the actual hardcover that will be on bookshelves starting April 2, 2013:

 
The entire book is beautiful from dust jacket to back cover, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. Thanks again to designer Maria T. Middleton for visually capturing this novel's essence.
