Draft cover for the 2nd edition of “Wildmind”
I was talking to my publisher this morning about the forthcoming second edition of Wildmind: A Step-by-Step Guide to Meditation, and she showed me no fewer than eight drafts of the cover. A couple of them were particularly stunning, including this one. I love the wildness and boldness of the brush strokes. The hills are a bit too dark, but the artist will be working on that.
The book’s going to be in a new and more conventional format this time. The first edition was in a landscape format and it was also rather large, which meant it was hard for bookstores to shelve it properly. Despite this it’s still one of the publisher’s best-selling titles.
I’ll keep you posted on the release, and perhaps I’ll have some kind of launch party. In fact the other thing we talked about was an online launch party for the second edition of by book on Vegetarianism, which is now called “Vegetarianism: A Buddhist View.” More later!

Mmmm, lovely.
Some of the others were lovely in different ways, but I love the vibrancy of this one.
