Friederich: Proofing 2 completed, Proofing 3 should see almost no corrections, and then there’s just the printing and sending out.

Marshall: The cover? Have you started the design for that?

Friederich: Cover? Hmm. A cover’s just a cover. Isn’t it?

Marshall: Not in my book.

Friederich: Got any samples?

Marshall: Sigh. These writers. They think what’s inside is the most important.

Friederich: Well, isn’t it?

Marshall: I can see from your shoes and your sweater that’s what you think. Covers sell books. This is going to take some time.
