Even the decorative cloth headband at the top and bottom of the spine—the thing lots of publishers just ask their printer to match to the color of the cover—was given careful consideration. “I had thought they were going to go with green,” said Spall. “When they selected yellow, I thought, ‘Man, that looks really good.’ That’s why they’re designers.” There is no additional cost for a colored headband, Spall notes.
