Johnny Depp, George Clooney To Save Publishing

I knew that would get your attention.

So, @PenguinPress today tweeted this:

PUBLIC ENEMIES movie tie-in edition coming soon. Perhaps we should put Johnny Depp's image on all of our covers from now on...

And I tweeted back this:

@penguinpress i think johnny depp's pic should just be a standard feature for ever book cover. we may save publishing yet!

And after that, I decided it was a really good idea and I went ahead and did it:

But, then @julietrelstad suggested this

@katmeyer @penguinpress What about George Clooney on the cover too?

And I thought, "shoot. Julie's right. Why stop with just Johnny Depp? Let's have a little variety."

So, I am pretty sure we can expect sales to go through the roof for Penguin.

Oh, and here's some not entirely gratuitous Johnny Depp in action.

it's related to the book.

(sort of)
