Ready for the Red Carpet!

I am so thrilled with my rejacketed books! I think they are looking smashing!
 Blogdosts - opinions, please!
Gavin , the super talented designer at Penguin Random House Books, has 'styled'' and 'dressed' the covers in pure Red Carpet style!
I am delighted the back list is selling well. With these 'hot'' new covers, I am sure we'll attract more readers - young, hip and hungry for words!!

But don't they look the same? I prefer the old ones somehow

They all look the same, like its the same book with different covers, I wish they'd gone with a better idea to have one feature thats distinct/ unique for each book.

Sorry - but I am very underwhelmed :(...

Honestly the name 'Shobhaa De' thrills me more than the picture. Good to see 'SD' in a bigger font than before.

Shobha-ji, I have always loved ur books and the ones before 2008, Sultry Days and Starry Nights. I love the way they have been re-packaged since it carry a sexy element.

Common shobhajee,
leave this glitzy selling to these young authors struggling to sell..
you have a class of ur own... sultry & sexy and direct.. these are just cheap..
me, a big fan of ur writing style but may be you should change the design guys who think of ur intent not the publisized wrong image of urs... i mean those sexy jeans on sisters cover and this violet top?
what happened to class and your brand mark crudity?

I explained I needed only 1 room and that I was quoted far less elsewhere. The lady who answered their 800 number didn't seem to care. She was not willing to present any coupons or special offers to bring down the price. For this price, a few cleanings and you could buy brand new carpet :). hide rugs
