A special episode! Philippa looks at book covers, how important they are, the process involved in deciding what sort of a cover a book should have, what influence an author has and the impact a retailer also has. With considerable help from (and thanks to) Phoebe Morgan, editorial director of HarperCollins and author. Her latest book is “The Babysitter” and is out now, with the most marvellous book cover, of course.
