I’ve seen it and it’s brill…
Do people still say ‘brill’? Probably showing my age. It’s standard, okay? It’s safe.
Yesterday I met at the Scholastic offices with Agent Cox and Editor Elv to discuss Exciting Top-Secret-For-Now New Online Strategy To Promote “The Joshua Files”. Yes indeed, not content with breaking new ground with the most innovative book cover you’ll see all year, Scholastic’s whizz MD Elaine McQuade has decided to promote this series title online in a Whole New Way. Agent Cox and I are in on the whole idea, which will take readers of the book into a whole new dimension of the world of “The Joshua Files”.
At the start of the meeting, Editor Elv surprised us both by producing a shiny new advance copy of “The Joshua Files – Invisible City” (the only one so far, it was the one sent for final approval by the publishers).
I snapped a photo of the book with some of the doughnuts we were using to fuel the meeting (which was about developing online content so we had doughnuts and coffee like the ‘net geeks we aspire to be).
Here’s a video of Agent Cox and Elv looking at the book…

P.S. Do you think (if it’s not to much trouble) you could get a picture of the front of Joshua Files without the slipcase on?
Thanks.

Silly me, I should have done that shouldn’t I, taken a photo without the slipcover. I was just so excited to see it, I forgot! I did take a photo of the back though. I’ll post it on my Flickr so that it shows up in the Joshua Files gallery. I don’t actually have a copy myself yet, because this was the only one so far. When I get some I’ll get one to you, okay?
