Väärän värinen kansikuva

Valkoinen tyttö kannessa, vaikka kirja kertoo mustasta tytöstä, koska valkoisuus kuulemma myy.

There is, in fact, a large audience for “black books” but they weren’t discovered until African American authors started self-publishing and selling their books on the subway and on the street and directly into schools. And, yet, the publishing industry still doesn’t seem to get it. Perhaps the whole “black books don’t sell” thing is a self-fulfilling prophecy?
