Goodnight, Goodnight

A quick follow up to the last entry: You’ll remember that HarperCollins airbrushed a cigarette out of illustrator Clement Hurd’s author photo on Goodnight Moon. Collectors will want to snap up their variant dust jackets before the current printing sells out, today’s Shelf Awareness newsletter shares this from a HarperCollins email: “…we recognize the concern over adjusting historical photographs, and have therefore decided to print an alternate picture of Clement Hurd in future reprints that does not feature a cigarette.”

Using Books was given an advance look at the replacement photo and we’re a little surprised by the choice. Have a look.
