Cover Attraction



Cover Attraction is a meme kindly hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page. Visit Marcia to see links to other covers.

In keeping with my tea theme and in honor of the tea shop mystery contest starting tomorrow, here is a cover I found most attractive. I like the textural contrast between the soft, velvety petals of the flowers and the iron of the teapot. The color contrast is also very pleasing to the eye. The simplicity of design is soothing and enticing.

About the book: London's Jane Pettigrew has joined American tea writer Bruce Richardson in creating the updated guide to teas throughout the world. Beautifully illustrated, this 2008 edition gives detailed information and brewing instructions for over 120 teas from every major tea producing region. Chapters on the newest information about tea and health, tea production, tea blending and tea hospitality are included. This book is a valuable up-to-date addition to libraries of both tea novices and professionals. If you have ever wondered about the time and temperature to brew your teas - white, green, black, or oolong - this is the book for you. (from Amazon)

  9. I love that cover and I don't even like tea! The contrast is very striking in many ways. Great choice Kaye! This is a meme I planned to join last week and didn't get to it in time. Let's see how long it takes!

  10. I'm more for coffee so it may seem odd but I have this thing for teapots. I also LOVE any white flower. The cover for this book is gorgeous, I'd love to see it as a print that I could hang in my kitchen.
