If I were a famous book cover designer, I think I’d just flat out refuse to answer any questions related to e-books at this point. Nothing wrong with the topic, of course, but it must get intensely tiresome.

And for what it’s worth, having stopped by his office on a handful of occasions, I can attest to the fact that he really does dress this well.
