Hey now! I’m so happy to share the cover of The Optimist with you. You’re the first to see it and I hope you like it as much as I do. It’s designed by the great John Gall (who’s worked on my other books, as well as basically being a legend). It’s from a Charles Ritz photo I’ve always been obsessed with. This book is starting to feel real! It’s coming at you May 4th and I’ll be sharing details of the book as we get closer to the big day. There are also a lot of related projects that will be coming into view around then. I’m really excited.
You can pre-order now, but there’s plenty of time for that—we’re not even done editing yet! Hopefully 2021 will be better for everybody out in the world. And also a better time for fishing, for traveling and, yes, for optimism.
Salut!
Congratulations on getting to the cover stage. Interesting photo choice...I wonder if the #keepfishwet folks will make your life difficult as a result? I look forward to reading it!
Cover looks great! I've got mine pre-ordered and can't wait to read it.
