We at GPP love our company's cover designs--and that's not just the marketing department talking. When final covers circulate, sales and editorial ooh and ahh appreciatively like first-time visitors to the Louvre, or the buffet at Bellagio. Even our HR director is crazy about our book jackets. The other day she was spotted at her desk stroking the cover of The Power of Purrs and cooing, "Aren't you a pretty one? Yes, you are! Mama has a little treat for you..." 

Anyway, it's no surprise that four of our talented designers were just selected as winners of the 2008 American Graphic Design Awards. Congratulations to Diana Nuhn, Georgiana Goodwin, Jane Sheppard, and Bret Kerr, who were chosen out of some 10,000 entries for Award Certificates of Excellence. Here are their winning covers:
 

Diana Nuhn, A Spring without Bees (Michael Schacker) and Jane Sheppard, The Boy in the Box (David Stout).
 

Georgiana Goodwin, the Woods Cop Mystery series (Joseph Heywood).
 

Bret Kerr, the Curiosities series (multiple authors).
