Hello! Pleased to share the UK (& commonwealth) hardback cover for The Thinking Animal. We went back and forth a bit with this one, and I wasn't sure at first, but it has really grown on me. What do you think?

Sneak peek at the US cover for THE THINKING ANIMAL, coming Jan '27. Looking forward to sharing more - soon! @stmartinspress.bsky.social @zcosini.bsky.social
