Assignment 2

Publication and Performance History

For this assignment, you will need to provide information on the publication history of your book after (and if applicable, before) the first edition, including subsequent editions (with the original or other publishers), serialization, translation, sequels/prequels, and/or performances in other media; in addition, you will be asked to provide sales figures and a transcription of representative ad copy. If possible, you should also provide JPEG images of cover art from an edition after the first, a sample illustration from an edition after the first, a sample advertisement (and information about other promotional efforts) for the book. JPEG images should be scanned at 300 dpi, millions of colors, and saved at 75% quality. Bear in mind that, with the exception of HTML tags, text-formatting will not survive this operation (for more information, see Help with Formatting Entries).

Don't forget: you will also need to submit a list of the sources used in completing this assignment to -unsworth, at uiuc.edu- no later than midnight on the day the assignment is due.
