“It took us a long time to get the cover right,” he said. The final version, which shows the silhouette of a woman’s face, was a revelation, according to Viking publisher Brian Tart.
The jacket, which went through nearly 50 iterations, initially featured two people, since the book’s title refers to a couple. The team at Viking, where Dorman’s eponymous imprint is housed, said the novel, released in hardcover in August 2016, was helped along by the things that, in industry parlance, make up a book’s “package”-namely its title, jacket, and cover copy. Now The Couple Next Door has become a main stay on the bestseller list, having sold more than 500,000 copies across all formats.
