The hardback version of Blue Machine is so very beautiful but the paperback version is coming soon (May 2nd) and (ta-da!) here is the new cover, on the right. If you think ocean is only blue liquid filler, this is for you.

'Blue Machine is quite simply one of the best books I have ever read.' - Dr George McGavin

@helenczerski It's a great book, I've been recommending it to everyone. But what person, presumably in marketing, decided the US version needed the definite article? And should be pink? https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Machine-How-Ocean-Works-ebook/dp/B0BWGY28Z4

Sorry... I did love this book but my US friends are puzzled.

@robpike @helenczerski We were all puzzled. But the publishers were very certain - they said they knew their market. I’ve never dared ask them whether the “The” is to avoid clashing with the smoothie.

@helenczerski is that the 'great wave' by Hokusai? :)
