Summary:

This book examines the use of book covers as marketing devices, asking what exactly they communicate to their readers and buyers, and what images they associate with a genre and create about a culture. Focusing on Indian women's writing in English, it combines the study of text with the study of materiality of the book.

Contents:

1. Contextualising book covers and their changing roles

2. Positioning Indian Women's writing in English

3. The mediated woman in Indian women's writing in English (IWWE) books covers

4. The post-millennial Indian woman on the book covers of Kala's Almost Single (2007) and Gokhale's PRiya in Incredible Indyaa (2011)
