The Nation hopes to confuse book buyers looking for Sarah Palin

October 22, 2009 @ 2:28 am

Looking forward to Sarah Palin’s book called Going Rogue: An American Life on November 17th? If you’re buying in stores, be sure that you’re actually buying the right book because The Nation is placing copies of a very similar looking title called Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare on the same shelves in hopes that some clueless buyer will pick up the wrong book. The unofficial book from The Nation is filled with essays bashing the former Alaska Governor and also pictures Sarah Palin on the cover (but in this photo she is shown in front of lightning and cloudy skies).

Alternative covers for Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue” book

October 12, 2009 @ 6:06 pm

Sarah Palin’s book Going Rogue: An American Life isn’t getting released until November 17th, but already it is a best-seller on Amazon.com and many other book lists. It seems as though lots of people want to read about why Sarah Palin acts the way she does…(pretty sure you don’t need to read a book to figure out the answer).

Anyway, what’s kind of neat to see are the alternative book covers that photographer John Keatley took of Sarah Palin. Harper Collins eventually went with the off-in-the-distance stare, but it’s nice to know that they could have chosen the straight-into-camera stare, or the boring plain background portrait, or even the let-me-tilt-my-body-into-an-awkward-state pose. Yes, see them all below.
