In accordance with the internationalism and commitment to Highland Scotland which are built in to the Sandstone Press ethos they are delighted to reveal the two brilliant new covers that have been completed for us in the past week.

Eugenia Vronskaya, the Russian born painter who has made her home in Inverness-shire, has contributed a stark but beautiful domestic image for Moira Forsyth’s coming novel, Tell Me Where You Are (April 2010). Its suggestion, ideal for the subject matter, is one of suggestion, of someone absent but whose presence has been felt and is, indeed, still at work. Based on this image the overall cover design has been developed by Thomas Gravemaker of Gravemaker + Scott. Thomas is himself a native of Netherlands who lived for many years in Paris.

Selena Kuzman now has strong associations with both Orkney and Moray but was born and raised in Slovenia, and it is from Slovenia that she sends the finally developed cover of Orkney Spirit. Conceived by the distinguished food writer, Liz Ashworth, Orkney Spirit will be like no book you have seen before, part the story of Orkney’s everyday life it is also partly its food. Not only dishes and preparation, although it is that, but the clean healthy wholesome environment that is the fount of its qualities and the people who live and work there. Orkney Spirit will be like no book you have seen before. You will want not only to read it but also to have it in your home.

Both of these covers are now to be found on increasingly impressive Forthcoming page of Sandstone's website and more will follow soon.
