Jacket/Design Form

We welcome any suggestions you may have to help our design staff prepare the jacket for your book. Please answer the questions below and return this form to your editor when you send the final manuscript ready for copyediting. The design will reflect the best professional judgment of the Press staff and may or may not incorporate your suggestions.

WARNING: This is an on-line form that allows you (the author) to directly submit your information to Penn State Press. When filling out this form, please keep in mind that you must fill out and submit all information below at one time. In most cases your browser will not keep the information you have entered, thus if you were to close out of this window, all the information would be lost.


Author:
Title:

1. Are there any illustrations that might serve well as an element of the jacket design? Please send us photocopies of any you want to propose for such use and indicate whether there are any restrictions (involving copyright, for example) on their use.

2. Are there any colors that are especially appropriate or inappropriate for use in connection with the specific subject matter of your book (such as the colors of a nation's flag)? If so, please indicate the colors and their significance.

3. Titles that are very long because they include subtitles can pose difficulties for designing attractive, uncluttered jackets. If the title of your book is long, do you have any objection to omitting the subtitle on the jacket (while including it on the title page)?

4. Do you have any other ideas for the jacket not covered above? Include the URL from any webpage of a book you think be helpful for your cover designer to view, e.g., http://www.psupress.org/books/titles/0-271-02279-5.html
